Police Chief Raiford Reynolds learns that true evil never
dies until the end of time as he encounters a brutal, maniacal
killer bent on revenge.

A number of police officers and FBI agents are
assassinated by a skilled sniper who leaves no evidence. The
first dead law enforcement officer is Ray's own sister-in-law,
and all the others were somehow instrumental in the capture
and death of Latrice Descartes twenty years before any one of
them was killed.

Once again, Ray finds his personal life and his professional
life cannot be separated as his family become targets of a mad
man.
