The unlikely duo embarks on a wild adventure across Los Angeles, dodging shootouts and car chases while trying to uncover the true culprits behind the diamond heist. Along the way, they encounter a colorful cast of characters, including a corrupt cop, a ruthless Mexican drug lord, and a group of eccentric billionaires.
Despite their differences, Franklin and James grow to trust and depend on each other as they navigate the dangerous underworld of Los Angeles.
