PlotIn Southern California, a professional car thief named Maindrian Pace works as an insurance investigator by day, leading a double life as the head of a skilled group of car thieves by night. The team is hired to steal 48 specific vehicles within a span of a few days for an international buyer. Each team member is highly specialized, and together they carefully plan and execute the heist while using code names for the target cars. The most challenging of these targets is a 1973 Ford Mustang, codenamed Eleanor. As Pace navigates the difficulties of juggling his legitimate job with his illicit activities, tension builds, and the risk of exposure grows.
With meticulous execution, the crew starts acquiring the listed cars one by one, operating under a tight deadline that leaves no room for error. However, complications arise when one of their heists goes awry, attracting the attention of the police. What follows is a relentless pursuit as Pace tries to stay ahead of the law while dealing with the mounting pressure of completing the mission. The narrative escalates into a high-octane chase, with the stakes growing ever higher for both the thieves and law enforcement.
