A veteran of the war in Afghanistan, Savannah " Savvy" Strong is a former marine suffering from severe, untreated PTSD, after a roadside bomb killed her best friend and left her partially disfigured. Now, she spends her days working at an auto shop in southern Los Angeles repairing cars and motorcycles, and her nights self-medicating, drinking and chasing loose women at the local nightclub. Anything to stop her mind from wandering. From remembering. From feeling. After a night of heavy drinking, Savvy is confronted by a group of Mexican gang members as she walks to the bus stop alone. The young men pester her incessantly. Having had enough of their nonsense, Savvy takes a swing at the leader of the group, and the group responds by dragging her into an alleyway, brutally beating her, and eventually sexually assaulting her. Savvy is able to identify the leader of the group in a police lineup, and is assured he will be punished to the full extent of the law. However, when the time for prosecution arrives, the rape kit is mysteriously nowhere to be found, and with the evidence lost, her assailant is set free. Savvy takes up her military sidearm and sets out to hunt down her defilers
