Beauregard "Bug" Montage runs an auto shop in North Carolina, but his bills keep piling up. Once he was the best getaway driver from the Carolina hills to Florida's coast. Now he changes oil and fixes transmissions, trying to be the husband and father his family deserves. When his garage starts failing and the money runs out, an old contact appears with an offer. One job. A diamond robbery. Enough cash to solve all his problems. Bug knows he should walk away. His criminal father's legacy already casts a long shadow over his life. But desperation makes the choice for him. He slides behind the wheel again, and the job goes sideways fast. Bullets fly, partners turn, and Bug finds himself racing through a world where survival means protecting everyone he loves from the violence he brought home.
