A lighthearted buddy-comedy road movie about three mismatched strangers forced together by circumstance who discover genuine friendship amid chaos and pursuit.

While on the run from the police, an unlikely companionship blossoms between a funny con man who just broke out of jail, the bumbling cop whose car he seized at gunpoint, and a nitpicking civilian he unwittingly took hostage.
