What Paw of Vengeance Keeps Coming Back To

Strip away the spectacle and Paw of Vengeance is still about the same wound.

Twenty-year-old fisherman Cole Hayes lost his parents at an early age. The pension and fishing boat that rightfully belonged to him were seized by his maternal uncle Roy Thompson, and he was publicly humiliated by Thompson and his son.

That is the spine of Paw of Vengeance: the people in the synopsis do not get to pretend the story started somewhere else.
