LT takes jobs that others won't touch, as long as the money is good. When a doctor hires him to deliver ransom for a surrogate baby, the task seems routine.

LT escapes with the baby and his life, barely. Now someone wants this child badly enough to kill for it. LT has no choice but to run with the infant and his girlfriend Candy, a prostitute who becomes his partner in survival. The mysterious group hunting them won't stop until they have the baby. LT decides to end the threat permanently. He will track down every member of the organization and eliminate them.
