Zip's Redemption

Fifteen years ago, Zip and his partners were an elite Marine Corps fighting unit carrying out clandestine missions around the world. Then without warning or reason, they were unfairly kicked out, so they decided to use their skills to start a small but successful cocaine smuggling operation. Now, Zip is ready to retire.

His part of the operation was to transport the drugs around the country, assuming a lot of the risk. He's never touched the stuff, he's saved every penny, and now all he wants to do is share the rest of his days with his high school sweetheart Heather and his dog Richmond, living in their east Tennessee mountain cabin.

His partners have other plans.

Although always outwardly friendly to Zip, they have some deep-seated resentments. They blame him for getting them all kicked out of the Corps. They hate the fact that he was the leader then, and they hate how he set himself up as the leader of their operation now. And, they have branched out into a very sinister side business, one they know Zip would not approve of, or allow.

So they have come up with a plan to make Zip go on one last run -- one he won't be returning from.

It's going to take all of Zip's skills and training to make it back alive. The big problem is the men he's going up against have the same skills, and the same training. But Zip's biggest problem is making sure none of this follows him home. The county sheriff, a hard-nosed lawman with a reputation for making the bad guys sort of disappear, has really hated Zip for years -- ever since he started dating his daughter, Heather.
