Sergeant Chris Vaughn is a former U.S. Army Special Forces who returns to his small hometown in Kitsap County, Washington. Looking for work, Chris finds the local cedar mill was closed down three years prior by its owner Jay Hamilton, who opened a casino that now accounts for the majority of revenue for the local area. Hamilton, who was Chris' school friend, invites him to a night of fun at the casino. While checking out the VIP lounge, Chris stumbles upon his childhood friend Deni, who is now working as a stripper. He notices the craps dealer using loaded dice and demonstrates this to the patrons. When the floorman refuses to pay out, Chris instigates a fight. Although Chris beats most of the security guards, he is subdued with a cattle prod. In the basement, Hamilton's head of security Booth cuts Chris' torso with a utility knife and leaves him for dead.
