Spoilers ahead
At the film’s outset, two Texas Rangers, Roland Sharp and Maggie Swanson, venture to a church to question Percy Stevens about the location of his former prison mate, Morgan Ball, who’s vital for testifying against the organized crime boss, John Cortlin. Percy, however, adamantly claims to be a “man of God,” asserting he’s had no contact with Ball for years. The situation intensifies when Percy’s cellphone unexpectedly rings, revealing Ball’s name, prompting Sharp and Swanson to locate him at a nearby warehouse. Instead of cooperating, Ball attempts to bribe Sharp with a key, but the Ranger takes the key and forces him outside. Just then, chaos erupts as a sniper begins firing, injuring Swanson and enabling Ball to escape amid the ensuing confusion.
