SYNOPSIS:

"Hank's Getaway Diner," recommended by Indie Film Hustle, is written along the lines of films like "Man on Fire" and "Taken." Hank comes to a Southwestern town in the middle of nowhere to start over after, in his last mission, the family he berfriended to target a drug lord gets blown up.

He buys a diner which becomes a success, revitalizing this ghost town, but an article on this goes viral, attracting the very people he meant to stay away from. The lone survivor from the bomb blast in Sinaloa shows up, and Hank gives him a job, feeling responsible for what happened to the boy's family.

But it turns out the boy is unwilling to forgive Hank and steals his keys, including the one to the storage unit where a drug cartel thinks he might house top secret information. Hank follows the boy to where he is in a barn, strapped to a bomb and, in a likely suicidal action, unstraps him and gets the two of them safely away from the bomb's blast.

Meanwhile, the drug cartel leader that the boy Hank hired is in cahoots with snatches Hank's girlfriend after the storage unit has no top secret files and forces a confrontation at an abandoned World War 2 factory. The whole ordeal helps Hank learn the value of family and community, both of which help bring him peace regarding his past.
