Hutch Mansell leads a mundane, monotonous life with two children from his wife, Becca, and a mundane office job at his father-in-law, Eddie's metal fabrication company. His marriage seems strained and his work life boring.

One night, a man and a woman with a gun break into his house and his son Blake captures the man and subdues him. Hutch prepares to attack the woman with a golf club, but takes pity on his son and begs him to release the man who punched the boy. The thieves leave, but the event causes everyone to think he's a failure. Hutch contacts his brother Harry via a hidden radio in his office, explaining that the thieves retreated because they were helpless, frightened, and wielding an empty weapon. Later that day, his daughter, Abby, seeks help finding his missing cat bracelet. Without a word, Hutch leaves to see his father, David, and takes his father's badge and gun to track down the thieves. He finds their apartment and threatens them, but soon discovers their baby and leaves.

Some thugs stop the bus he's taking home, and looking for an opportunity to vent his frustration, Hutch beats them up on the pretext of protecting a young woman from sexual harassment. He realizes that he is not communicating with his family at home and tries to reconnect with them. Harry persuades him to see the "Barber", who informs Hutch about one of his victims: He is the brother of Yulian Kuznetsov, a Russian crime lord. In retaliation, Yulian sends a team led by his right-hand man Pavel to capture Hutch at his home. Hutch hides his family and kills most of the attackers before Pavel drags him unconscious and catches him. Finding a fire extinguisher in the trunk of a locked car, Hutch uses it to blind the driver and crashes the car, killing Pavel and the rest of his crew.
