Despite his attempts to escape, he discovers that his partner is complicit in the heist. Tragedy strikes when they execute him after a truck alarm sounds, followed by the partner when he questions the lead robber’s intent.

In the aftermath, law enforcement sets up roadblocks to apprehend the culprits. The robbers—Marek, his girlfriend Arielle, Losada, and getaway driver Evers—understand that they match the suspect descriptions. To secure their loot of $4 million, they stash the money in a family’s sleeping bag while the camping family is briefly at a gas station.

As both parties proceed to the police blockade, the robbers are pulled over but manage to escape scrutiny, while the family, blissfully unaware, passes through unharmed.

She manages to escape, but as the robbers flee from impending police arrival, frustration mounts for Marek when he learns they must search for their money elsewhere.

Once free, the police escort Nate’s family on a road trip intended to salvage their fractured bonds. They soon encounter trouble when the robbers spot their Land Rover and pursue them. A chaotic sequence unfolds as gear falls loose, and Robyn, discovering the hidden money in the sleeping bag, accuses Nate of deceit and theft, misplacing blame for their situation. In her anger, she drives away with the boys, leaving Nate stranded with guilt and confusion.

As events spiral, the family unexpectedly becomes entangled with the robbers once more, leading to a shocking confrontation wherein Shane and Kenny witness their mother’s safety being threatened. A desperate Nate leaps into action, devising clever ruses and ultimately leading to a dramatic confrontation where he faces the robbers head-on.

With stakes rising higher, the film sways into a fierce struggle for survival against the ruthless Marek, whose desperation to reclaim the lost money leads to bloody confrontations and heated battles. Amidst the chaos and emerging alliances, Nate’s physical and emotional resilience is put to the ultimate test.
