Holmes had been friends with Geyer in their home town of Gilmanton, New Hampshire and they have unfinished business over a woman.
Alerted by the insurance company, Geyer seeks Holmes in what becomes a journey to redeem Geyer's life as he discovers how his former friend left horror after horror in a killing programme across the United States.
