A teenage boy is wrongly accused of drug distribution after his friend set him up in a sting operation, leaving him to face a mandatory minimum prison sentence. His father, a successful business owner, is desperate to help his son avoid this harsh punishment. When he learns of the son's limited options due to the rigid federal laws, the father makes a deal with the ambitious U.S. Attorney. He proposes to go undercover to provide evidence against a drug dealer in exchange for his son's freedom.

Taking on the perilous role of a drug trafficker, the father immerses himself in the narcotics underworld. He risks his life and his business to gather information on high-level drug dealers, with the goal of securing enough evidence to free his son. The situation becomes increasingly dangerous as he delves deeper into the criminal network, forming alliances with dubious characters and navigating the volatile dynamics of the drug trade. The stakes are high, as any mistake could have fatal consequences and wreck his chance to save his son.
