Rebecca Verlaine was the only survivor of a brutal massacre that destroyed her family. After waking from a two-year coma, Rebecca is adopted by her aunt and uncle, who try to protect her from her violent past.

And Roland Taverner (Sean William Scott) is an LAPD officer who has split in two and is trying to track down his other half.

After returning home from Iraq, MacPherson joins a comrade to work a ranch. But after arriving to Arizona, his friend has mysteriously vanished and none of the neighbors are talking. MacPherson puts his military training to use and uncovers a plot to run illegal aliens out of town, or killing them. Conspiracy also stars Gary Cole and Jennifer Esposito.

After finishing one last deal, Angela rushes to her car in the parking garage to race home for dinner with her family. But her car refuses to start. A security guard helps her and offers to share his Christmas dinner in the garage, an offer the corporate leader laughs off.
