Synopsis:
Kurt Davis owes a ruthless lone shark seven grand for an undisclosed reason. The only problem is Kurt Davis does not have seven grand and recently joined the ranks of the unemployed. In his time of need, he enlists the help of his oldest and only friend Sam Turner. After a blackmailing scheme goes horribly, they are given little choice but to agree to courier an envelope to Wichita, KS for the lone shark. Unfortunately, Wichita is over 800 miles a way and they have just over 24 hours to get there. This in and of itself is not insurmountable but the trip is anything but smooth sailing.
Before they can even get out of town, they are robbed, impersonate police officers, are threatened at gunpoint, covered in blood and make an odd deal with a femme fatale assassin named, simply, Wyatt.
Hours later and a state over they stop for a bite to eat and promptly find themselves being shot at, involved in a semi high-speed chase and finally kidnapped. Wyatt saves them from being pummeled but not from being pawns in a Senatorial assassination plot. They end the evening stranded with no money, no transportation and still several hundred miles from their destination. This of course leads to a quarrel and grand theft auto.
When the grand theft auto goes up in flames, they seek the aid of the Warlock Gerodin, an online “friend” of Sam’s, to complete their journey. With Gerodin’s help, they uncover the item in the lone shark’s package will pilfer millions from thousands of innocent individuals. Much to Kurt’s apprehension, they decide to take the moral high ground and not deliver the package, but a decoy instead. Of course, their plan goes awry and the three of them end up on their knees in the back alley of a church waiting for execution.
Just about when all hope seems lost Wyatt swoops in and halts the execution. A battle royal ensues between our band of misfits and the lone shark’s thugs. With the goons defeated, they triumphantly drive off into the sunset a little wiser for the wear.
