Rage

Paul Maguire and his crew ambush a Russian mobster en route to delivering money, seizing a haul that could fund a fresh start. The successful heist triggers a protracted war between their Irish mob family and the Russian syndicate. The loot gives Paul the chance to go legit, but it also invites retaliation from their rivals.

Five years after stealing the money, Paul, Kane, and Danny meet to divide their earnings and decide each man's next move. The windfall serves as the hinge between their old life of crime and the newer paths they plan to pursue. The moment marks a temporary pause before each man chooses his own direction.

Using his share, Paul slowly constructs a legitimate construction business in Mobile, Alabama. He transforms himself from a criminal to a respected businessman, laying the groundwork for a stable family life. The enterprise becomes the backbone of his new, law-abiding identity.

Paul marries Vanessa, an ambitious and beautiful woman, and becomes a father to Caitlin. His personal life signals a complete reinvention from his troubled past. The family life stands as a shield against the old world he left behind.

Caitlin grows into a teenager under Paul’s protective eye, and he dotes on her as any devoted father would. The household reflects a stable, legitimate life that contrasts with the shadow of his past. The daughter becomes a symbol of the future Paul hoped to secure.

One night, Paul and Vanessa head to a charity dinner, leaving Caitlin at home with friends Evan and Mike. Masked men barge in and take Caitlin, setting off a frantic chain of events. The family is plunged into fear as the investigation begins to hinge on revenge and past sins.

Mobile P.D. Detective St. John approaches Paul at the charity dinner to inform him that Caitlin is missing. The sense of police involvement deepens the mystery and raises questions about how the past crime will influence the present crisis. Paul grapples with fear, suspicion, and a fading sense of control.

Eager to expedite Caitlin’s return, Paul ignores police methods and tasks Kane and Danny with helping in the search. The pursuit pulls him back toward the violent world he tried to escape, reigniting old loyalties and pressures. The investigation becomes a personal vendetta rather than a formal inquiry.

Caitlin’s body is found in a storm drain, and her funeral follows soon after. The tragedy shatters the family and hardens Paul’s resolve to uncover who is responsible. Grief amplifies the lure of retribution and the weight of the past.

After Caitlin’s funeral, O’Connell strongly urges Paul to let the police handle the investigation. He reminds Paul that he was allowed to walk away from the mob and should stay away from mob methods. Paul refuses, fueling a dangerous descent into a personal vengeance spiral.

Paul and his friends resume their aggressive tactics against Chernov’s network, wrecking businesses and intensifying the war. In the midst of the violence, Kane is captured and tortured, underscoring the brutal consequences of their past actions. The group’s resolve hardens even as the stakes rise.

Tensions erupt into a brutal confrontation where Paul strikes and accidentally kills Danny with a knife during a moment of rage. He becomes convinced that someone betrayed him, deepening his paranoia and spiraling into a darker path. The loss cements a rift among the remaining allies.

Chernov arranges a meet with O’Connell to lay out Paul’s role in reigniting the war, challenging the old power structure. Paul later finds a Tokarev pistol in his closet, and Mike finally confesses that his gun accident caused Caitlin’s death, revealing the truth behind the kidnapping. The revelations pivot the storyline toward a final reckoning.

Paul phones Vanessa to say that things will be over soon, as Chernov and his surviving men close in on his house. He recounts the first time he killed someone, then stabs himself as guns are raised at him. Paul is shot and killed in front of a grieving Vanessa, who arrives to witness his body being carried away by the police.
