In the remote woods of Oklahoma, a rugged loner named Bowdrie 'Bo' lives a secluded life with his teenage daughter, Tag. Their isolation is shattered when they discover a badly injured woman, January, in a nearby river. Despite Bo's instinct to remain uninvolved, they take her in to treat her wounds. However, they soon learn that January was kidnapped by a dangerous criminal organization known as the Brotherhood cartel. As the cartel begins searching for her, Bo and Tag find themselves forced into a desperate struggle to protect the woman and survive the escalating threat of the violent gang.
