Synopsis

Erica Bain is a New York city radio presenter happily engaged to her fiance David Kirmani. She loves New York and spontaneously shares her experiences on her radio show 'Street Walk' with her audience. But one fateful night alters the course of her life irrevocably. Ambushed in a random, vicious attack that leaves Erica close to death and David dead.

In the following months though Erica heals physically she is left mentally scarred and fearful for her personal safety on the streets she once felt confident roaming around. Taking matters into her own hands she makes a fateful decision to arm herself and the gun in her hand becomes a tangible way to protect herself from an intangible enemy.... or will it?

The first incident results in a kill or be killed standoff. The second time is also self-defence, but could she have evaded the confrontation and got to safety first? Now her fear is replaced by a determination to reclaim something of her former life that was taken from her on that night...

As NYC seems increasingly under attack from the work of a vigilante, NYPD detective Sean Mercer (Terrence Howard) heads up the investigation to track down the killer...
