Brody Ellis doesn’t have enough money to buy the medication his sister Molly needs, so he robs a convenience store. But he bumps into a young woman on his way out and loses his wallet. Just when he expects the cops to arrive, the phone rings. It's Blair Mayo, the woman he bumped into. Brody will get his billfold back, but only if he does her a favor: steal her late mother's diamonds from her wicked stepmom. When he gets to the house, he finds a gruesome crime scene --- and a security camera. Brody knows he's been framed. Hitting the road to save their lives, Brody and Molly realize that they've become pawns in a mysterious game --- one that involves a notorious enforcer named Lola Bear.
