Biker Cary Ford (Martin Henderson) comes back from a six month trip in Thailand and has a confrontation on the highway with Junior. Trey (Ice Cube) shows up to back his brother Junior and a deal is made to let Ford and his crew go if they replace Shane's bike. Ford then meets up with his former girlfriend Shane (Monet Mazur) at a biker rally. She is mad because he took off and the FBI was hounding her over Henry James' (Matt Schulze) stolen bikes. Ford explains that he did steal the bikes and that it was in her best interest that he left. He tries his best to get back into Shanes good graces and they go for a beer at a club. Once there, Junior bumps into Ford and a fight breaks out. Junior is killed in the bathroom by Luther (Max Beesley) and Henry James over a drug deal that Junior set up between them and his brother but didnt work out. James has his girlfriend lie to the cops to set Ford up for the murders. Now Ford has to get away from the FBI and Trey's bikers gang in an effort to clear his name.
