Like the two iconic characters, he finds himself in a small town and is not looking for trouble. However, he gets into trouble when some police officers steal the money he was trying to use to get his brother out of prison. Rebel CrestAs the story and the trailer suggest, the protagonist Terry Richmond faces danger head-on like Jack Reacher and Rambo.
