We meet Jon Baker, portrayed by Dax Shepard, as a rookie motorcycle officer at the California Highway Patrol. Despite his status as an older rookie, he is determined to excel while managing his injuries and a tough recovery from the past.

Frank Poncherello, played by Michael Peña, is introduced as the undercover FBI agent deployed to investigate a robbery that implicates corrupt CHP officers. His mission intertwines with Baker's rookie journey, creating an uneasy partnership.

An armored car heist occurs, revealing a deeper network of corruption within the CHP. The incident puts Ponch and Baker on the trail of criminal activities that involve officers they are supposed to trust.

As Baker enthusiastically patrols, he often issues tickets for minor infractions, trying to stay at the top of his class. This fervor clashes with Ponch's desire to maintain a low profile while investigating the corrupt officers.

Tensions escalate between Ponch and Baker as they argue about personal issues. Baker brings up his wife’s fidelity, creating friction as Ponch, in turn, reveals his struggles with a supposed sex addiction.

Following a tragic turn of events in the chase, Ponch is dismissed from the FBI. This change adds further strain to Baker's recovery as he deals with the fallout of their investigation.

While Baker is healing, he faces the harsh reality of his wife's decision to sell their home. Her absence during his recovery weighs deeply on him, compounding the challenges he faces.
