A tough bounty hunter is hired to track down a former mob accountant who embezzled millions and jumped bail. His simple job of bringing the man from New York to L.A. becomes a cross-country nightmare as they are pursued by the FBI, the Mafia, and a rival bounty hunter, forcing the mismatched pair to rely on each other to survive the journey.
