Absolution

Father Jake Austin's alcoholic father suddenly returns to town, decades after deserting him as a young boy. His dad is fleeing a vindictive drug lord and begs him for help. Although Jake detests his old man for abandoning him, he can't allow him to be murdered, so he enlists the help of his friend, Sheriff Tremont Macon. Because of his dad's deteriorating health, he is admitted to the hospital and placed in a room adjacent to an injured drug mule, allowing Macon to station an armed guard outside their rooms for protection.
Despite police security, the gang murders the drug mule and Sheriff Macon decides to place Jake's father into protective custody in jail. There, he learns that Jake's dad has not only stolen uncut cocaine from the drug dealers but has also witnessed the kingpin order a murder. The mob wants the coke back and Austin Sr. dead.
