She states she will be the judge of that and then she and her henchman brutally torture the man before he dies.Donal is a middle-aged farmer who lives with his aging mother in the country. She is old and growing weak in her age. Though they are close, they are still very much distant from each other. Donal's mother learns of the death of an old friend named Tommy Rafferty (The man in the hospital) and is greatly troubled, which makes Donal suspicious. Donal buys an RV and proposes to his mother that they both traverse the country to which she refuses. In a fit of disappointment Donal drinks himself to sleep in the RV with beer which his mother supplies him with. In his sleep, he dreams that he is hunting through a dark wood and finds himself aiming his shotgun at his mother who is vacuuming the floor. He comes to his senses and his mother screams for help. Donal awakens and leaves the vehicle, running up to the house where he sees a man in a suit exit and enter a car. Donal rushes into the house and finds his mother lying dead on the living room floor, having been beaten to death.With no results nor help from the authorities, Donal believes he should do some investigation of his own. He is attacked in the barn by two masked men and forced to enter into a hangman's noose which has been set up to look like a suicide. However, he fights back and kills one of them with a sledgehammer before taking the other hostage. He finds this young man to be innocent and uncertain as to anything involving the death of Donal's mother. Donal dials the police but then hesitates and reassesses his situation. After burying the dead henchman, Donal leaves in his vehicle with the other man who he learns is named Ben Bartosz. He frees Ben so long as Ben aids him.Donal learns from Ben that he is working for a rich young woman named Frankie Pierce and her right-hand-man Trevor Ballantine (the man who Donal had seen exiting the house). They are holding Ben's sister Kaja hostage through surveillance. Donal agrees to help Ben find his sister so long as it helps him understand why his mother was killed. They meet with Gavigan, a man working for Frankie and take him hostage, questioning him by holding a burning pot of beans against his head. However, Gavigan does not know anything concerning Donal's mother but does know of Ben's sister. When Donal leaves to relieve himself, Gavigan overpowers Ben and flees. Ben catches up to him first, but Gavigan holds him down and brags about cutting off Ben's sister Kaja's hands and feet off. Donal intervenes, holding Gavigan at gunpoint and Ben seizes his opportunity and stabs Gavigan to death. Donal remains cold over Gavigan's death but Ben becomes more pitiful. They hastily bury Gavigan and leave, but not before talking to Frankie over Gavigan's phone and threatening her.Frankie upbraids Trevor for being inconspicuous and remains bitter involving a relationship which her father had with Donal's mother.
