Judah Cannon, the middle son of the notorious Cannon clan led by the uncompromising Sherwood, returns to his rural hometown of Silas, Florida, after prison, intent on starting anew with his childhood best friend and newfound love, Ramey Barrow. However, his plans unravel when a call from Sherwood pulls them into a dangerous web of theft and betrayal. Caught in the unyielding grip of family loyalty, Judah participates in robbing the Scorpions, a group of small-time, meth-cooking bikers. Unbeknownst to the Cannons, half of the stolen cash belongs to Sister Tulah, a megalomaniacal Pentecostal preacher who manipulates her followers into extreme acts. When she discovers the robbery, she vows to make both the Cannons and the Scorpions pay, igniting a deadly conflict filled with deception and shifting power dynamics. As the chaos escalates, Judah's younger brother Benji becomes an innocent victim, driving Judah to seek revenge at any cost. Blinded by his quest for vengeance, Judah grapples with his beliefs and the consequences of his actions. With Ramey by his side, he faces off against both the Scorpions and Sister Tulah, struggling to navigate a world rife with moral ambiguity.
