As he packs the truck for a spring turkey hunt, he vows to savor the time with his little girl. But Jake's hope for an idyllic weekend are shattered when a band of drug dealers attempts to break into the Crosbys' remote hunting camp. Desperate to protect his daughter, Jake makes a violent and gut-wrenching decision. His quick thinking enables him and Katy to escape. the camp and flee into the Noxubee River swamp.
