Secret Service agent Richard Chance is a reckless operative still reeling from the death of his partner, who was killed during an investigation into counterfeiting operations in Los Angeles. Driven by a desire for vengeance and bound by his duty, Chance becomes consumed with bringing down the sophisticated and ruthless counterfeiter responsible for his partner's death. The criminal mastermind behind the counterfeit operation is an artist and genius criminal named Rick Masters, who leads a high-stakes lifestyle funded by his fraudulent activities, constantly staying one step ahead of the law.

As Chance delves deeper into the underground world of money laundering and forgery, he enlists the help of his new partner, John Vukovich, a by-the-book agent who grows increasingly uncomfortable with Chance's unorthodox methods. The pair navigate through a grimy Los Angeles underworld of strip clubs, back alleys, and illicit deals in search of the elusive Masters. Their obsession with the case leads them to take risky and morally ambiguous actions in pursuit of justice, challenging the boundaries of the law and their personal ethics. With each move, they spiral closer to a confrontation with the formidable foe and the treacherous world he controls.
