The Spearhead Effect

Reeling from the brutal murder of his mother, Jake uses his popular blog to highlight police corruption and apathy, leading to a rash of internal investigations of police departments across the country, and sparking a nation-wide vigilante movement called "The Pioneers." Jake eventually finds himself at the center of a media firestorm, as well as the focus of vengeful police officers. He hides out with a childhood friend who eventually leads Jake to join a Pioneers group himself. But when he expresses disgust at the level of violent torture they inflict on their captives, Jake soon becomes the group's prime target. (Dallas International Film Festival)
