Wily con artist Teddy Murretto (Frank Grillo) devises a desperate plot to avoid fatal hitman Bob Viddick (Gerard Butler) while speeding through the Nevada desert in a bullet-riddled Crown Vic: To get himself arrested and held up in a small-town police station, he sucker-punches rookie officer Valerie Young (Alexis Louder). But Murretto won't be safe in jail for long. Viddick concocts his own way into detention, stalling in a nearby cell until his goal is completed. When the arrival of a rival assassin (Toby Huss) sparks all-out chaos, Viddick is forced to get inventive if he wants to do the job and get out of the dangerous scenario.
