The movie begins with a flashback sequence narrated by Dolph Lundgren. We see Dolph’s character, Aiden Hakansson, when he was just a 10 year old boy going on his first hunting trip with his father. Aiden’s father didn’t just teach Aiden to hunt, he taught him how to track… which sets Aiden Hakansson on the path to becoming a TRACKER… I guess. We really don’t get much more background on who Aiden is or why anything that is about to happen to him happens. 40 Years Later: Fast forward 40 years and Aiden now has a family of his own. Aiden along with his wife and his young daughter are in Taranto, Italy enjoying themselves at a festival of some sort, when from out of nowhere Aiden’s wife and daughter are kidnapped.RELATED:
