Stisen stars as Jack Johnson, a former Special Forces operative who returns home with his pregnant wife (Roxi Kravitz), only to face a tragic attack, spearheaded by local crime lord Bastion (Peter Stormare), leads to her murder. When Jack kills one of the assailants in rage, just outside their home, he is imprisoned for six years. Upon release, he discovers the culprits were sons of Bastion. Seeking vengeance, Jack targets Bastion’s eldest son, Leon (Michael Billington), who masterminded the attack.
Using the Stand Your Ground law, Jack lures Leon into a trap, leaving him comatose. Bastion retaliates, sending assassins, but Jack, fortified in his home, fights them off. Molly (Isobel Laidler), Bastion’s conflicted daughter, and town Sheriff, Dwayne (Patrick Regis), confront her father, who refuses to stop, leading to an explosive final showdown in which Jack confronts both his enemies and his own humanity.
Stand Your Ground arrives in cinemas on May 9th, followed by a VOD release on May 27th.
