72 Hours

At the FBI Field Office in Georgia, senior agent Sebastian James and his team monitor a guns-for-crypto transaction unfolding at night. They worry for their undercover agent Sean as the exchange progresses. A mysterious third party closes in, heightening the tension and danger surrounding the operation.

Carl speeds off with Sean to complete the transfer at a hotel, hoping to seal the deal. Marco calls Carl to warn that Sean is undercover, forcing a reckoning. In a brutal turn, Carl kills Sean and escapes with the laptop and hard drive, severing the investigative trail.

A few days later, Sebastian, intoxicated and morose, signs divorce papers and travels to Alex's rural home for Christina’s sixteenth birthday. Alex marks the occasion with an expensive BMW gift for Christina, underscoring his outward success. Sebastian senses the personal cost of his failed marriage and mounting loneliness.

The brothers share a quiet moment over beers, catching up on life and the widening rift between work and family. The scene contrasts Alex’s outward prosperity with Sebastian’s internal struggle. The toast hints at unresolved tensions that will resurface under pressure.

The crypto transfer is attempted again late at night south of Grantville with Sebastian and two agents in a van. The exchange goes through and agents raid the location, but a hooded figure escapes with cash. Sebastian chases the fugitive only to discover the figure is his own brother, deepening the sense of betrayal.

Tye Revello, a gun smuggler, arrives from California to clean up the mess. Marco and Alex's involvement come into sharper focus as Carl is beaten for letting in the rat. Alex’s house is raided, Christina is kidnapped and taken to Tye’s estate, and Tye gives a 72-hour deadline to return the hard drive.

Alex and Sebastian put together a crew—mechanic Tess, gambler Johnny, and private mercenary Vincent—to retrieve the hard drive and confront Tye. Johnny knows Daun, who supplies guns from Tye, tying the operation to a broader network. Marco’s threats push Johnny and Daun into uneasy positions as the plan develops.

Daun calmly recounts a traumatic childhood accident that shaped his path and loyalty. Years ago, a family river crash left Daun's brother dead and Johnny trapped and killed, foreshadowing the brutal consequences of crossing Tye. Daun warns that their pursuers are coming, and Tye answers with a fatal shot from a hitman.

The next day, Tye relocates everything to a warehouse to stage the final confrontation. His boss reminds him of potential client reactions, including possible government involvement, raising the stakes of the operation. The tension tightens as the clock ticks toward the deadline.

Tess picks off Tye’s men from above while Vincent blows up their vehicles, crippling the defense. Tye holds a gun to Christina’s head even after Alex hands over the hard drive, pushing the situation toward a violent ending. Christina headbutts Tye, creating a vital opening for Tess to shoot him.

Christina is reunited with her parents, bringing a sense of closure to the family drama. Sebastian retires to spend more time with his own family, choosing recovery over continuing the chase. The film closes with a reminder that family, not crime, ultimately anchors the survivors.
