Colonel Sean returned home on leave after completing a five-year top-secret mission, only to be targeted by his neighbors—Martin and his son—who used a land dispute as a pretext to extort him and violently vandalize his military-issued vehicle. Deputy Sheriff Rick sided with the aggressors out of favoritism and spread rumors that Sean had served time in prison. When Sean’s father suffered a heart attack after being forced to his knees, Sean contacted his superiors; a Department of Defense special operations team arrived and apprehended the perpetrators on the spot. Ultimately, the Miller father and son and the corrupt deputy sheriff were convicted in federal court, the seized land and subsidies were fully restored, and Sean’s father was finally unburdened of the humiliation he had endured for years.
