What is Guns Up about?
Frank is a devoted family man with a dark second life — he supplements his income by doing dirty work for a local crime outfit. He keeps this world carefully sealed off from his wife and kids, believing he can walk both lines without consequence. But one night, a routine job collapses into chaos, leaving him exposed, hunted, and out of time. With enemies closing in and nowhere safe to turn, Frank has only hours to gather his family and get them out of the city before his hidden life catches up with them entirely.
