On an Air Force base, an interrogator prepares a key witness to testify against mob boss Matajano. A driver delivers takeout to the interrogation room, and when the box is opened it explodes, killing the witness and sending the room into chaos. The explosive murder sabotages the initial attempt to secure Matajano's downfall.

In court, the judge orders a recess after the witness's death. The attorney general demands that a U.S. marshal bring sufficient evidence against Matajano within 72 hours to replace the killed witness. The pressure signals a scramble to salvage the case and keep Matajano under scrutiny.

On a chain gang, Luke Dodge is harassed by an inmate and fights back as Charles Piper intervenes. The guards chain both men together, sparking a brawl that ends with the escape of Dodge and Piper. The sequence sets up the unlikely duo now on the run.

The arresting officer, Gibson, discovers the magazine from the escape scene and learns the AG only intended Dodge to be on the chain gang as a setup. He follows the trail into the woods and encounters the third convict, who is shot dead by Marshal Schiller. The marshal's actions complicate the legal trap around Matajano.

Dodge sits down with Piper and explains his need to escape in order to recover the $5 million he stole. Piper presses for half the share in exchange for his help, revealing the uneasy alliance forming between them. The conversation smooths their uneasy partnership and motivates their next moves.

Matajano commissions a hitman ordered through the food-delivery chain to recover a crucial computer disc and kill Dodge in the process. The plan shows Matajano's willingness to do whatever it takes to prevent the disc from reaching the attorney general. Behind the scenes, chaos and a looming hit hang over the protagonists.

Gibson learns that the escape-magazine used to trigger the blaster was blanks, confirming the guards were never meant to kill anyone. He realizes the entire chain gang episode was engineered as a setup to protect Matajano. The revelation deepens the conspiracy and pushes the pursuit into new directions.

Piper and Dodge are cornered by a hunter who attacks Piper, causing a heart attack threat and forcing them to improvise. They hijack the hunter's car and drive to a hospital, where they regroup and recruit a woman named Cora to drive them to a safe hideout. The sequence marks a turning point in their escape route.

At Cora's house, they change clothes and separate paths, with Piper handing Dodge his harmonica as a good luck talisman. The moment cements their partnership and signals a new phase in their plan to recover the disc. The change of clothes foreshadows the need to stay hidden from Matajano's men.

Dodge heads to a strip club to meet his girlfriend and arrange a handoff of the disc with Puffy at a massage parlor. Matajano's thugs break into their hotel room, kill his girlfriend, and torture Dodge, escalating the stakes dramatically. The assault triggers a fierce counterattack from Piper.

Piper arrives and fights several of Matajano's hitmen, enabling Dodge to escape with him. The assault showcases Piper's combat skills and reveals his undercover role in the larger plot. The two escape once again, their partnership solidified under pressure.

Piper reveals that he is an undercover cop hired by Marshal Schiller to break Dodge out so Matajano's people can recover the disc for exoneration in a drug bust case. Dodge learns the true motive behind the escape and the stakes of the disc's fate rise dramatically. The revelation reframes the entire conflict.

Gibson coordinates with a private investigator and pins down a clue on Dodge's bike that leads them to the Georgia Dome and the disc, with Cora's help. The pursuit intensifies as the group races to secure the disc before Matajano's men close in. The dome is the next checkpoint in their plan.

The group ends up in a gunfight with Matajano's men and a pursuit up Stone Mountain where a skycar is used to move the disc-bearing duo closer to safety. The marshal, thought dead, stops their car and demands the disc, but Piper throws him out and the disc is handed to the attorney general. The attorney general exonerates both Piper and Dodge and grants Piper his job back in New York.
