In sun-soaked Miami, three bodybuilders with big dreams but small prospects decide to chase the American Dream in the most misguided way possible—through a life of crime. Daniel Lugo, the mastermind, is a charismatic but frustrated fitness trainer who believes he deserves more than what hard work has given him. Convinced that his wealthy new gym client, Victor Kershaw, is a crook who deserves to be fleeced, Lugo recruits fellow muscle-bound gym rat Adrian Doorbal, who has his own set of distresses often remedied by steroids and self-delusion, and Paul Doyle, an imposing presence with personal demons, to enact a plan to kidnap and extort Kershaw for all he's worth. They believe their muscle and intimidation will ensure their success in what they see as a foolproof scheme.

Despite their physical prowess, the trio is far less skilled in criminality, and their plan quickly spirals out of control. Kershaw proves to be a more resilient victim than anticipated, and as complications mount, the three stooges find themselves in increasingly absurd and dangerous situations. Their lack of criminal expertise leads to a series of unpredictable mishaps and unintentional violence, forcing them to confront the reality that they may not be as smart or invincible as they thought. Their quest for a better life becomes a comedic tale of errors, plunging them deeper into a world of mayhem they are ill-equipped to navigate.
