The afternoon sun bleaches the parking lot asphalt, and then chaos tears it apart. Brad Wesley's men descend on Dalton in a furious wave, but Wade meets the charge of a hulking attacker head-on, holding his ground.

His head lifts, and his eyes find yours—a direct, unnerving connection that feels like a challenge and a promise.
