In a near-future Los Angeles, Toby Wong is on the run from the corporation that created a biomechanical device; he has implanted it in his chest to turn him into a superhuman fighting machine. The device, known as the "Drive," enhances his speed and reflexes to nearly supernatural levels, making him a valuable commodity. The corporation wants the device back and will stop at nothing to repossess it. Toby, determined to escape his pursuers, has one goal: to make his way to San Francisco where a potential buyer promises freedom and a new life.

En route to San Francisco, Toby crosses paths with Malik Brody, a down-on-his-luck songwriter, in a bar. After an altercation results in the revelation of Toby's extraordinary abilities, Malik reluctantly finds himself embroiled in Toby's dangerous journey. Bonding over the shared desperation to change their fates, the mismatched pair navigate through adrenaline-fueled chases and confrontations with relentless hitmen hired by the corporation. As they move closer to their destination, they form an unlikely friendship, learning to rely on each other's unique skills to survive the company's relentless assault.
