Biker Cary Ford (Martin Henderson) has returned to his hometown to
reunite with his girlfriend Shane (Monet Mazur) and take care of a little
unfinished business.
When he skipped town months ago, Ford was in possession of several
motorcycles belonging to Henry (Matt Schulze), a ruthless drug dealer and
leader of the Hellions biker gang. Now Henry's putting the squeeze on
Ford in an attempt to retrieve the bikes, which have something a little
more valuable than gas in their tanks. When Ford is less than willing to
cooperate, Henry frames him for the murder of Junior, younger brother of
Trey (Ice Cube), the fearsome leader of the Reapers motorcycle gang.
With the help of his loyal buddies Dalton (Jay Hernandez) and Val
(Will Yun Lee), Ford must outrun an FBI agent (Adam Scott) who's hot on
his trail while eluding both the misinformed Trey, hell-bent on revenge,
and the callous Henry, who's dead-set on getting back what is rightfully
his.
Racing across the desert in a perilous attempt to prove his innocence
and convince Shane that he's worth a second chance, Ford must outrace his
enemies if he wants to clear his name and live to ride another day.
