(Casper Van Dien) and Ray (Rick Fox) are a pair of strong-arm men collecting debts in New York City for a powerful gangster based in New Orleans.

As A.K. and Ray try to outrun Hackman (Daniel Pilon), a top New York Police Department detective, and Bailey (Catherine Oxenberg), a beautiful but ruthless cop with an agenda of her own, they find that they're also under the gun of their boss' other enforcers.
