PlotA fearless bike messenger in New York City receives an envelope that needs to be delivered from Columbia University to Chinatown. Immediately after picking up the package, he realizes he's being pursued by a man who identifies himself as a police officer, but something feels off. It's clear this man will stop at nothing to retrieve the envelope, leading to a high-stakes chase through the bustling streets of Manhattan. The bike messenger, known for his skill and speed, navigates the city's chaotic traffic with a combination of agility and daring, relying on his expert cycling abilities to evade capture.
As the chase intensifies, it becomes evident that the contents of the envelope hold significant value, not just to his pursuer but to others as well. The bike messenger's urgency increases when he learns more about what's at stake for the recipient of the package. With danger closing in from all sides, he must rely on his instincts and the support of his fellow bike messengers to outmaneuver his relentless adversary. From weaving through narrow alleys to darting through crowded intersections, every maneuver becomes a calculated risk as the line between predator and prey blurs, and the true danger of his mission begins to reveal itself.
