Framed for murder and trapped in a conspiracy set in motion by a narcotics trafficking network, Kyle Hunt, a South Carolina-based cash-strapped man, soon regrets accepting an easy and well-paid job. It was simply too good to be true. When local businessman Hector Ramirez and his tough associate Ray Dupree call on him for an off-the-record installation of a surveillance system and offer twenty thousand dollars in compensation, Hunt recklessly carries out the task. In the process he inadvertently sees private information, which ultimately backfires on him as a cargo facility is soon after robbed and a homicide is committed. Relentlessly looking for the killer of the cargo facility employee, veteran homicide detective Jacob Bornholm has earmarked Hunt as his prime suspect. And, to make matters worse, Dupree also reckons Hunt is responsible for the heist. The threats begin. Hunt is alone in the struggle and attempts to unravel the set-up, fending off his doubts and uncertainties, as well as the emotional demons of his past and present to prove he is merely a fall guy. With the escalation of violence around him, Hunt must push himself to the limit to save his loved ones. Defeat is not an option.
