Believing that fellow driver Aaron Ashmore will act fairly, Ben advises the truck driver to contact him for assistance. This moment highlights both Ben's desire for justice and his misguided faith in those around him.

Ben and his wife Avery move to Toronto with the hope of escaping their toxic family life. They have to balance their challenging jobs and their responsibilities to their son Zach, who faces bullying at school due to their financial struggles.

In an effort to boost his son's spirit, Ben promises to buy Zach a $300 bicycle for his birthday. This promise serves as a beacon of hope amidst their financial difficulties and a desire to foster positive character in Zach.

Ben meets Wayne, an intersection chaser who reveals the potential for significant earnings from accident referrals. This moment tempts Ben to reconsider his ethical stance as financial pressure mounts on the family.

Returning to the dispatch office, Ben finds that his boss, Bissey, has implemented new mandates requiring drivers to lease trucks. This policy only serves to worsen their already dire financial situation, adding more strain.

Desperate to secure funding, Ben turns to Ray, a police constable, for a $5,000 loan. The terms dictate a stressful repayment plan of $750 weekly, adding immense pressure to Ben's already fragile circumstances.

Ben suffers the consequences of his late loan repayment as Ray's threats intensify. This escalation of pressure forces Ben deeper into a cycle of desperation, impacting both his work and family life.

As financial strains deepen, Avery begins to have an emotional connection with Sean, a high school friend of Ben’s. This pushes the couple's relationship to the brink, complicating their efforts to navigate tough times.

Torn between his ethics and the urge for survival, Ben enters the ruthless world of chasers. This decision puts him at odds with his moral compass as he starts racing to accident scenes with his dubious colleagues.

As Ben grapples with his family's struggles and pressures from Ray, he takes desperate actions to regain control of his life. These actions include puncturing a rival's tires and resorting to illicit strategies for work.

In a surprising twist of fate, Ben's reckless actions create unforeseen opportunities. As he works to pay off his debts, he contemplates forming a partnership with Ray, complicating his moral dilemma further.

In a moment of clarity amidst chaos, Ben reveals that he has purchased the bicycle for Zach. This gesture reflects both his determination to uplift his family and the ongoing tension triggered by their precarious situation.
