Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Logan McQueen is an ex-cop serving a prison term for a bust that had gone awry. During his stint, he learns of a death row inmate that claims he can predict the details of the next violent act of a serial bomber. Once released from prison, Logan tries to find the identity of the bomber and stop him. His best course of action is agreeing to the inmate's request of a reunion with his estranged daughter before he is executed.
