Description: Paul Kersey, a Chicago-based emergency room surgeon, lives a peaceful life with his wife, Lucy, and daughter, Jordan. During a family dinner at a restaurant with Paul’s brother Frank, a valet named Miguel secretly notes their home address from the car’s navigation system after overhearing their plans for an evening out. However, Paul is called to the hospital that same night, leaving Lucy and Jordan alone. Tragically, their home is invaded by armed criminals, and despite Lucy and Jordan’s efforts to defend themselves, Lucy is killed, and Jordan is left in a coma. Paul attends Lucy’s funeral in Texas with her family.
While leaving the funeral, Paul and Lucy’s father, Ben, encounter poachers who have shot a deer. Ben takes matters into his own hands, using a rifle to chase them off. This prompts him to advise Paul that sometimes, if the police fail to act, one must take justice into their own hands. Frustrated by the lack of progress in the investigation led by Detectives Kevin Raines and Leonore Jackson, Paul begins to feel compelled to act. After witnessing a woman being harassed and being assaulted himself while trying to intervene, Paul visits a gun store but is deterred by the lengthy waiting period and the risk of being traced.
When a gang member is brought to the hospital and his Glock 17 pistol is left unattended, Paul takes it and begins practicing shooting. He uses the weapon to stop a carjacking, and a video of the incident goes viral, earning him the nickname “Grim Reaper.” However, during the altercation, he injures his left hand due to improper handling of the gun. As Paul grapples with his grief and the need for justice, he finds himself increasingly drawn into a dangerous path of vigilantism.
