<br/><br/> The last time Jesse Stone, police chief of Paradise, Massachusetts, saw the hit man Crow, he was racing away in a speedboat after executing one of the most lucrative and deadly heists in the town's history.  Ten years later, Crow shows up in Jesse's office asking for help.  Crow's mission is to find young Amber Francisco and bring her back to her father, but there are complications. Crow is ordered to kill the girl's mother but he doesn't kill women. It's up to Jesse to provide protection. Meanwhile, Jesse's on-again, off-again relationship with ex-wife Jenn picks up steam as Jenn investigates the gang problem for her TV station. As they dig deeper, the danger escalates and saving Amber could be the miracle Jesse and Jenn need for themselves, too.
