Ex-Marine and convicted criminal
Tim Kearney has been marked for death by a murderous biker gang, and now in order to cheat death he will assume the role of a powerful, recently deceased drug lord in this pulsating
crime thriller starring
Paul Walker and
Laurence Fishburne. When
Kearney (
Walker) copped a plea with a scheming DEA agent (
Fishburne) to impersonate surfing drug lord
Bobby Z, his back was against a wall. Now, as the former convict convinces everyone including
Bobby Z's girlfriend (
Olivia Wilde) that he is in fact the man he claims to be, the drug dealer's old enemies turn up ready to settle some old scores. As the bullets begin to fly, the only choice
Kearney has is to run for his life. Hunted from both sides of the law,
Kearney attempts to protect the real
Bobby Z's son despite the fact that his flight may find him missing out on some tidy illegal profits.
