John Rooney's biological son, Conor Rooney, was ambitious and wanted to take his father's place. At the funeral, Danny's brother Finn expressed outrage. After that, Connor killed Finn in public in order to seal Finn's mouth; in the crisis, Michael shot and killed Finn's men to save Connor. John Rooney treated Michael as his own, Connor had long been complaining, and in this mission, Michael's eldest son, Mike, was curious about his father's work and hid in the car to witness the whole thing. Connor was afraid that he would leak the news, but Michael assured him that he would not leak the news on the grounds that "he is my son".
At the gang meeting, Connor had no regrets about the private shooting of Finn last night. He apologized to the representatives with a smile on his face, and was angrily reprimanded by his father John. After the meeting, John and Michael discussed important matters, but put Connor aside.
Jealousy made Conor Rooney even more resentful towards Michael, and he couldn't help but have murderous intentions in his heart. First of all, Connor used the name of his father John to ask Michael to deliver a letter to Kavino who owed money, but in the letter he explained that Kavino killed Michael and wanted to use a knife to kill Michael. Then, Connor quietly went to Michael's house and killed his wife and son, but because Mike was detained at school, Connor only killed Michael's wife Annie and his youngest son Pete.
In Kavino's room, Michael shot and killed Kavino and his men in time and survived. When he saw the words in the letter that he wanted to shoot himself, Michaelton felt that his wife and son were extremely dangerous. After rushing home, Michael saw that his wife and youngest son had poured into a pool of blood.
Michael and his son start the road of desperation and revenge!
Michael came to Chicago with his son, and wanted to take refuge with the local gang boss Nity. Unexpectedly, before Michael came, Nitty knew what happened to Michael and told Michael that for his own interests, he not only could not accept him, but also provided protection to Connor. After Michael left, Nitty went to another room, where John and Connor were already there... Nitty asked John what to do, and John asked Nitty to get rid of Michael, but asked to let the child Mike go. Nitti immediately went to the killer Harlan Magalle...
Michael left Chicago to go to the house of his wife, Anne's sister, Sarah. On the way to call Sarah, Sarah is at home for Anne's funeral. After Sarah finished the phone call, John's men, who were under surveillance, successfully locked Michael's whereabouts by checking the call records.
In a restaurant in the wilderness, killer Harlan Magall tracks down Michael. Sensing that something was wrong, Michael went to the bathroom for an excuse and drove away in a hurry. Realizing that he was being followed, Michael absolutely stopped going to Sarah's house and went back to Chicago to solve the problem.
In order to make Niti give up the protection of Connor, Michael gradually stole his bank account; and told Niti that if he wanted to get back the lost money, he had to get rid of Connor. After losing large sums of money, Nitty gradually loses her patience for Connor's protection.
Michael talks to Nity on the phone, claiming that he wants Connor to hack the accounting documents of John's money in exchange for the stolen money. The two parties agreed to meet at a hotel. But in the hotel, Nity sent a killer to hand over to Michael. Michael hit the glass pillar in front of the killer, the glass burst and the killer's face burst, the killer covered his face and rolled on the ground in pain. Worrying about the child, Michael hurriedly found the accounting documents, forgot to shoot the killer and ran out. The killer crawled to the window with difficulty, covered his face in one hand, held a gun in the other, and shot Michael in the shoulder.
Mike took his father to a remote farm to recuperate, and the kind and simple old farm couple took them in and helped Michael heal his wounds. Michael and his son quietly left one morning, leaving a large sum of money for the old couple.
In the end, Michael realized that if he wanted revenge for killing Connor, he had to kill John first, and for John, that was a relief. In the stormy street in the dark night, Michael, who was wearing a black trench coat, shot John's men to death with a submachine gun, and then a shuttle of bullets shot John to death.
After John's death, Nitty sends his men to kill Connor in order to get the money stolen by Michael.
Michael took his son to the house of his aunt Sarah, who lived on the edge of Lake Penedee, and planned to live in seclusion. Unexpectedly, the killer Harlan Magall hired by Nitty had already buried the house, and when Michael was not prepared, he shot Michael down. After arriving, Mike held a gun, but hesitated to shoot. The dying Michael used his last bit of strength to shoot and kill Harlan Magall, which ultimately saved Mike's life.
Mike returned to the remote farm, and the kind old couple took him in. The road of destruction finally came to an end. Many years later, the grown-up Mike finally understood the deep fear in his father's heart, that he was afraid that Mike would become a killer like him...
