The Wylde Card

A father’s mission to buy his son rare trading cards turns violent when a robbery crew steals them—unleashing the wrong man.

On the day of a major trading card release, Joe Wylde sets out to secure a pair of packs for his son. When a masked robbery crew hits the local post office and steals the haul, Joe appears to be just another unlucky customer—until he tracks them down. At their hideout, the thieves discover too late that Joe is far more dangerous than they are. By morning, the crew is in custody, the cards are returned, and Joe keeps his promise—proving that even the most ordinary fathers can have extraordinary pasts.
