    A SUV crashed into a restaurant during an ordinary day. The driver died right away, while one passenger and some customers were wounded. Witnesses outside the diner stated the car was chased and then ran off the road by another car, but they were not able to identify properly the make and model. The victim had actually stolen the car, so detectives tried to trace down what really happened that morning: in a wood upstate, four hunters had been killed by the victim who left the crime scene together with a hostage (Jake M. Smith), throwing shortly after the murder weapon (a semi-automatic rifle) in a dumpster placed just outside a gas station. A man noticed everything and he wanted to play a hero. When the teenager died at the hospital for kidney failure, McCoy was the only one who wanted to prosecute the "hero", against other people's advice:;the point is: is he a hero or a vigilante?

    I like pretty much the plot, but I find it too unrealistic: there wasn't any reasons for what the killer had done apart from a little dispute on hunting issues. Then I think people shouldn't take the law into their own hands.
