Set in 1983, the story follows veteran FBI agent Terry Husk (Jude Law) as he investigates a series of violent bank robberies, bombings, and armored car heists terrorizing the Pacific Northwest. Husk uncovers that these crimes are orchestrated by a radical white supremacist militia led by the charismatic yet dangerous Bob Mathews (Nicholas Hoult).
