James, a detective, receives a text confirming a meeting to capture a wanted target. He briefs his partner Matt on the plan - James will approach the target on a bridge while Matt provides backup in case of any sudden movements. At the meeting, Matt immediately shoots and kills the target when he reaches into his pocket. However, James discovers it is the wrong person. Frustrated with another dead end in his hunt, James vows that one day he will find the real target and get revenge for making him the hunter.
