The story
With a tour in Afghanistan behind him, war-torn Chris Jensen struggles to assimilate back to life in California. Drifting and living out of his car, he soon discovers that few are willing to deal with the remnants of a damaged career military man. Chris is self medicating; desperate to silence the echoes from the front lines. When an opportunity finally presents itself, he makes the hard decision to employ his most coveted talents honed in special ops. A job is a job and Chris knows civilian life can be just as cut-throat as time on active duty. But just how close does he have to get to Andrew Warner to secure the kill?
What it’s like
Restless, sun-bleached California settings, cheap motel rooms and a parked car with the sense of a life lived out of a single bag, suggest a gritty, understated palette, though the surface texture of the image is best left unspecified. The mood is tense and brooding: a damaged veteran's unease, the blur of self-medication, and the cold dread of a job that should be routine. Pacing likely alternates long stretches of isolation with sharp, tense turns, and the emotional register tilts toward guilt, loneliness and a fragile pull toward closeness. Intensity is moderate to high. The story turns on a contract killing and an ex-special-ops man's combat skills, so expect violence that is more threatening than gory, along with explicit sexual content, given its gay erotica tagging. Its drug-dealing and mystery threads add a thriller undercurrent. It suits viewers who want an adult, gritty thriller about a veteran's unraveling and are comfortable with explicit scenes, not anything gentle or comforting.
