Las Vegas, Nevada, police officers are corrupt. Major crime team Vincent Downs followed the advice of his partner Sean Cass and robbed Las Vegas casino manager Stan Rubino a large bag of 25 kilograms of drugs overnight. But in the shootout between the two sides, Vincent accidentally took off the mask and was seen by the other side. Vincent drives away with Cass after killing a drug dealer.
DEA policewoman Jennifer Bryant seized the closed drug factory of local drug dealer gang boss Robert Novak. When she returned to the police station, she heard police cartridge casings were found at the scene of the murder last night. She was well aware of the serious corruption of the local police officers, and decided to go to the scene to investigate in person. But she didn't expect that the serious crime team came not the police officers in charge of this area, but Vincent and Cass from another area, which made the alert Bryant begin to suspect Vincent.
Vincent receives a call from his divorced wife, Dena, to pick up his son Thomas. But on the way, he was attacked by Rubino's men, who kidnapped Thomas. Rubino called and told Vincent that the drugs in the bag were to be handed over to Robert Novak, and if he could not get the drugs back, he would hand over his son directly to Novak. After Vincent heard that the drugs he stole belonged to the Novak family, he knew he couldn't afford it, and asked his partner Cass why the drugs belonged to Rubino. Cass said lightly that he did not know, but only heard from the informant that the vote belonged to Rubino.
In order to ensure the stability of the Canadian market, Robert had to buy goods from Rubino after being raided by a drug factory. He found out that the informant to the Drug Enforcement Administration was actually his cousin, and brutally cut off his tongue.
Vincent took 25 kilograms of drugs to the casino to deal with Rubino, and hid 23 kilograms of drugs on the ceiling of the casino toilet in advance. Unexpectedly, policewoman Bryant also came to the casino because she found out that the previous deceased was an employee of the casino, just to find that Vincent was also at the casino with a bag. Bryant followed Vincent and seized all the 23 kilograms of drugs he had hidden in the bathroom. At the front door of the casino, Bryant found that Robert Novak also walked into the casino with his subordinates, feeling that something was important, and hid the drugs in the hot spring bath locker. After his partner Denison came over, Bryant told the details and pinpointed that the previous murder suspect was Vincent.
Vincent traded with Rubino and, seeing that his son was safe, promised to bring the remaining 23kg of cocaine in ten minutes. But when he walked into the bathroom again, he found that the hidden drugs had disappeared. Vincent couldn't, so he had to climb from the ventilation channel of the bathroom to the kitchen room and use powdered sugar packets as cocaine. When handing over to Rubino, he lied that many policemen were down there, and successfully tricked Robert into panicking and taking the powdered sugar and leaving.
As soon as Vincent took his son away from the door of the nightclub, Robert discovered that the drugs were fake and returned to the casino. Rubino immediately ordered his men to hunt down Vincent. After some fighting, Thomas was taken away again. Vincent called Sean to help.
Bryant and his partner Dennison could not find Vincent. After Dennison advised her, she handed over the locker key to Dennison and left home. At the elevator entrance, Brian deliberately ran into Vincent, who was disguised as a casino employee. After a fight in the room, the weak girl was no match for the strong man, and Bryant was held in the room by Vincent's hand. Vincent told her that he had been undercover for two years and knew her case well, and said that his partner Sean was bought by the Novak family, and he tipped him off every day, and that the police boss had been bought by the Novak family.
Vincent went to the hot spring to get the drugs, but unexpectedly did not fasten Bryant, and asked him to call Denison to take the drugs in advance. When Vincent found the locker empty, he was again held at gunpoint by Denison. Unwilling to accept it, Vincent beat the women's bath and knocked the white man into the pool while injured.
Came to the underground garage, Vincent found the waiting partner Sean. Sean asked Vincent if he was an undercover detective from the Department of Internal Affairs. Vincent only stated that he would protect his safety and help him rescue Thomas first. At this time, a drug dealer suddenly came, and Sean and him were both shot and fell to the ground. Vincent saw that Sean was shot in the chest, so he had to put on the police uniform he brought, and took his mobile phone and left.
Rubino ordered his subordinates to let Thomas run out on purpose, asked him to call his father, and led his subordinates to ambush around.
In the casino, Vincent was surprised to see Denison's recorded text message from Sean's mobile phone, telling him that Vincent was a police officer of the Internal Affairs Division, and quickly killed Vincent.
Bryant told Denison that Vincent was probably undercover, not a corrupt police officer. Afterwards, the two heard gunfire and came to the garage, where they were shot and fell to the ground. While Bryant was checking out the other, Denison asked the dying Sean if Vincent knew his identity. Sean replies "Fuck you" contemptuously, and Denison suffocates Sean to death.
Vincent finds Thomas in a casino nightclub, and the thugs in ambush appear. After a fight, Vincent and Thomas fled to the garage in a panic. Robert also took his men to the garage.
In the casino, the DEA reinforcements arrived, and Bryant took Rubino into a police car and took him away.
During the shootout in the garage, Deana arrived in time with a pistol, saving the lives of Vincent and his son. But in the end, Vincent and Robert hit each other and fell to the ground. Dena drove Vincent and his son to the hospital, where Vincent sent Bryant a recorded text message from Denison on Sean's phone.
When Bryant listened to the recording, he immediately understood that Denison was a corrupt police officer bought by the Novak family. But instead of notifying the police officers of the other two cars in time, he risked drawing a gun and kidnapped Denison behind the car alone. As a result, the gun was snatched by Dennison and passed out. Knowing that Rubino had been bought by Novak, Denison shot Rubino and then held the police officer who was driving at gunpoint. Officers were about to call other vehicles, but Dennison shot and killed the vehicle before it rolled over.
Denison climbed out of the car and lied that Rubino had taken the gun. But he didn't expect that Bryant was not killed, he also climbed out of the car and ordered Denison to be arrested...
