Plot summary
Crime boss Kamenev threatens his daughter Casey, so casino owner Bobby Stern brings in his friend Jack Devlin, a retired U.S. Marshal, to keep her safe. Jack fights off the men Kamenev sends to the Stern mansion, but a flashbang blinds him and he is shot in the leg; the ordeal leaves him unable to stand the color white. Back in New York, he lives with his roommate Thomas and sees psychiatrist Dr. Rachel Stein. A lawyer then informs him that Stern and his wife have died and that Casey is now his ward. When his old friend Tim Hastings is gravely hurt guarding the model Cinder James from an obsessive killer, Jack steps into the job out of loyalty, balancing Casey, his phobia, friction with Cinder and a rivalry with the bodyguard Don Tragle.
