Overview

Jake Walker, an ex-Marine, tries to fit in with the civilian world after returning stateside. He decides to move into an older home in a rural setting close to the Canadian border. He plans to relax, avoid crowds, and take some time to record a few experiences from his tour of duty while in Afghanistan. During high school, he'd learned the art of self-defense from his father's tutelage, and thus, he could handle any trouble that came his way in life. Now he needed to either use this craft to start his own self-defense business or else finish his education in the criminal justice program. A few months after being in his uncle's cabin located on ten acres near Grandview, Washington, Jake's plans get interrupted by two neighbor kids who decide to trespass on his property. Max Johnson and Crash' Braden stumble onto a group of men who they believe have bad intentions, and they unknowingly get caught up in the situation. Things get wild when Jake also discovers these same men acting very suspiciously just three miles past his country place. Jake now has to manage two exuberant boys while trying to stop a small-scale border invasion in his own state before it turns deadly. Along the way, Jake becomes aware of his growing interest in young Max's mother, Lisa Johnson. The more he lends a helping hand to this beautiful neighbor lady and her inquisitive son, the more he thinks she could possibly be the person he saw in his dream. Who knows, maybe this new friendship just might give him a reason to stay longer in the area. However, when she begins dating another guy, all bets are off, and Jake has to step back and reconsider his plans once again.
