lives for. On DVD and

find another way.

Tom is threatened by an assassin (
John Cusack) with a sniper rifle in the rafters.
If Tom doesn't do what he's told, the assassin will execute his wife (
Kerry Bishe),
but the shooter asks the impossible: he insists that, with his mentor
dead, Tom is the only pianist alive that could play Godureaux's
"unplayable" piece. Forced to play the piece that caused his meltdown,
knowing one wrong note means death for him and his wife, Tom has to
play the most important concert of his life and still find a way to
outwit the sniper. With

package bombs to the titans of American industry (including J.D.
Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan) and government and tracks it to an

an excuse to deport immigrants and break up unions, Flynn merely hopes
find appropriate justice for the bombers and stop the violence.
