The film doesn’t dwell too much into his past but still manages to capture the ordeals he has had to face and how he chooses to silently suffer them. Frank works as a cook and is married to the waitress who is also an ex-drug addict. Frank loves his wife so much but this affection isn’t reciprocated back and Frank realises that he is losing his wife as she slowly goes back to her old drug addiction days.
One fine day she leaves Frank for a drug peddler and thus hits the peak of Frank’s sufferings till date. Frank believes that this drug peddler (played by Kevin Bacon) stole his wife and thus begins his frantic efforts to ‘save’ his wife.
Frank decides to fight crime based upon visions he is having and becomes ‘the Crimson Bolt’. He later teams up with a young girl Libby(Ellen Page) who adopts the name Boltie. Both of them wear costumes and start fighting crimes with some harsh/brute techniques.
