Two of the brothers, Deklan and Brandon, have served in the military and so have expertise in weaponry. The youngest of them, Roman, is engaged to his childhood flame, Mia, and the two are about to get married. While Deklan is traumatized by his past, and Brandon has a family to look after, Mia and Roman try to have a good time by partying away their last few days of bachelordom. During one of her bachelorette parties, Mia ends up angering two small-time thugs, Vince and Frank, both of whom work as sex traffickers for a local kingpin named Max Livingston. Mia insults Vince and Frank, so they abduct her from the club and take her to their boss as a special offering. In the meantime, Detective James Avery relentlessly tries to collect evidence against Max Livingston but fails to find anything legitimate. Also, the existing corruption in the hierarchy of the police department keeps his hands tied.
