Picking up from where they left off, Red and his crew are drawn into a tempting offer from Harry, a wealthy benefactor who promises a hefty payout to complete a mysterious quest. Red declines, wary that any tie to the supernatural could invite trouble for him and those around him. Yet when Red’s Lola suffers a stroke, his resolve wavers and he reluctantly agrees to take on the mission in the name of family.
