A retired assassin named Morrison is threatened by his former handler, Ed, who suspects he has stopped taking medication for his violent disorder. Morrison's attempt at a peaceful farming life is shattered when enforcers from the Rossetti family arrive, offering him one dollar for his land and claiming to be the law on their territory. He violently refuses, warning the messenger that the 'reckoner' inside him is still alive. To protect his daughter Vivian, Morrison issues a final threat: if the Rossettis push him further, they will face the deadly killer he once was.
