Plot summary
Chris North's repair shop is failing and his wife Riley works a bank counter in Los Angeles, where they are raising ten-year-old Carly. A friend of Chris urges him to join a robbery of Diego Garcia, the head of a drug cartel; Chris backs out, but Garcia has already learned of his involvement. Nobody comes to Carly's birthday party, so her parents take her to a Christmas carnival and buy her peppermint ice cream. As the family walks back to their car, gunmen in a passing vehicle open fire. Chris and Carly are killed and Riley is wounded but survives. Detectives on the case hesitate to pursue the three shooters, who belong to Garcia's cartel.
