Desperate for money and with a political agenda to highlight the lack of support for veterans, he assembles his former platoon – ‘Cat’, ‘Mouse’, ‘Pig’ & ‘Rabbit’ - to rob a major bank. When things go awry they’re forced to take a dozen hostages who were in the wrong place at the wrong time, as Mr. Wolf finds himself battling the police, the hostages and his own personal demons. When Mr Wolf makes a public statement in front of a gathering crowd, detailing his demands, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary bank robbery…and these Iraqi war veterans are no ordinary robbers….On the opposite side of the law is Captain Horst Cali (Donnie Wahlberg), the Pittsburgh Police Department Hostage Negotiator, who must go head to head with Mr Wolf to free the hostages before the FBI take control and events escalate beyond control.
Which man will blink first? Who will out-smart the other? Will Cali (with a penchant for correct grammar even in the most stressful of circumstances) be sharp enough to hold it all together or lose control of the situation? Will Mr Wolf find redemption before it’s too late?
