Randy "Unique" Joneson, a veteran seeking peace in Karenville, Ohio, after prison, finds himself in a town controlled by a corrupt Sheriff McLeoud. The Sheriff operates an organ-harvesting ring targeting Black men, a fact revealed by the disappearance of Unique's cousin, Lonnie. While Unique tries to live quietly with his cousin Ramsee, the Sheriff's son, Jimmy, leads a gang that abducts Ramsee. Unique's parole officer in New York, Officer Beam, discovers the truth about the Sheriff's activities and travels to Ohio to find him. Utilizing his military training, Unique fights back against the gang and infiltrates Jimmy's clubhouse. He defeats the gang members and eventually confronts Jimmy.
