A diabolical plan is hatched in the early nineties by the U.S. government to kidnap a child at birth by killing his mother, then putting him in a compound to study reactions to video games. A doctor and a female FBI agent are persuaded to help with the project. Both are eventually convinced the boy is better off away from the experiment. All three escape and Shane Amos, a known hit man, is hired to hunt them down and kill the boy. A chase ensues through the Arizona countryside as the three escapees try to outrun the hit man. When those in Washington find things are not proceeding as planned, they involve another agency to insure the job is completed. Things go wrong, forcing the doctor and the hit man to choose sides, forming an unlikely bond. Everyone is forced to work together so they will all livea]or will they?
