A stoic Hollywood stunt driver leads a double life as a getaway driver for criminals. Despite his rule of absolute professionalism, he remains distant from everything and everyone in order to keep himself free from ties and vulnerabilities. However, his solitary existence begins to crack when he meets his neighbor Irene, a young mother with a son, whose husband is in prison. Struck by a sense of kinship and an undercurrent of attraction, he starts to care for the pair, forming a bond that softens his hardened exterior.

The driver's quiet life is thrown into disarray when Irene's husband is released and the family finds itself threatened by old debts. In an effort to protect Irene and her son, he offers his driving services for what is supposed to be a straightforward heist to pay off the husband's dues. But when the job goes dangerously wrong, the driver finds himself on a collision course with some of Los Angeles' most dangerous figures. His skills behind the wheel and his fierce protectiveness become crucial as he navigates a world of treachery and violence.
