Jesse and Billy return from their vacation only to discover that Claire is in a state of panic. Her soon-to-be ex-husband, Carl, has kidnapped her children! In Claire’s absence, he convinced her mom to let him take Benny and Carrie into town for ice cream. Minnie, stunned by his sudden appearance, but thankful that he had finally shown some interest in his children, agreed to his request. He had driven all the way from Washington, D. C. to see his kids—what could it possibly hurt? But when Carl fails to return as promised, a late night mission to rescue the children ensues. Billy enlists the help of his three brothers and soon a simple plan is devised. The retrieval is pulled off and Benny and Carrie are reunited with their mother. However, the mission was not without complications. The conversation between Carl and Billy had become heated, and blows were exchanged. Blood was spilled. The next day, Carl turns up missing.
