Spoilers ahead

Five masked robbers pull off a $10 million heist at a Las Vegas casino, but the plan quickly spirals. All but one are captured, and the money disappears; the surviving partner is shot in the head and left for dead. Ten years pass, and Cole [Grant Bowler], the former leader, is broken out of prison by his old crew—Stillman [Jean-Claude Van Damme], Boyd [Josh Henderson], and Kane [Daniele Favilli]—who have learned from a boastful mechanic [Brad Carter] that their partner may still be alive and, somehow, escaped with the loot thanks to a local physician. The gang heads toward Baker, a remote town with more secrets than people, chasing a rumor that the physician can explain what happened to the money.
