Plot Summary

In a dimly lit warehouse, a group of men awakens in a state of confusion, each suffering from injuries and a total lack of memory regarding their identities or the circumstances surrounding their predicament. Among them, a man clad in a jean jacket regains consciousness first. He checks on the others to confirm their survival before realizing that they are trapped, with barred windows and a door secured by a mechanized lock. During his search for a way out, he answers a ringing phone; the mysterious caller inquires about the situation, to which the man in the jean jacket assures him that everyone is fine and learns the caller plans to return shortly.

Meanwhile, outside the warehouse, a money drop-off is taking place, and William Coles Jr. has been kidnapped. Back inside, the bound man pleads for his release. Just as the jean jacket man is about to untie him, the man in the rancher shirt warns against it, suggesting the bound man is their enemy, as he was tied up for a reason. As tensions rise, the man with a broken nose regains consciousness, leading to a physical confrontation with the others. Outside, the police arrive at the drop-off location only to find the money has vanished.

As they search the warehouse, the men discover a newspaper article detailing the abduction of the affluent businessman, Coles. This revelation sparks suspicion that they may be complicit in the kidnapping, though the extent of their involvement remains unclear. Fragmented memories flash before them, adding to their sense of dread. They find a gun, and the man in the jean jacket claims it as he and the others attempt various methods to escape — from signaling through a gap in the wall to shooting at a window, but each effort proves futile.

In a heart-wrenching moment, the handcuffed man recalls a troubling childhood memory, asserting that the jean jacket man is his friend, a claim that creates unease as the jean jacket man struggles to accept this connection. Tragically, the handcuffed man succumbs to his wounds, further complicating the situation. Meanwhile, the police begin to identify the suspected kidnappers, presenting photos to Coles’ wife, Eliza, which include the handcuffed man, the bound man, and the jean jacket man.

While the gang returns from their money pickup, the bound man remembers his involvement with them and warns them of impending danger. In the ensuing chaos, he is shot, along with a fellow gang member. As the situation escalates, the rancher shirt man is forcibly exposed, prompting the others to surrender. The jean jacket man realizes the gravity of his involvement and confronts his identity as part of the gang after an intense encounter with the snakeskin boots-wearing gang leader, who scolds him for the mess they’ve made.

When a brawl erupts, chemicals spill, causing everyone to lose consciousness temporarily, leading to their amnesia. As the confrontation heats up, the jean jacket man faces an impossible decision: he must kill the rancher shirt man and the man with the broken nose or risk being killed himself. The tension peaks when gunfire erupts near an empty grave, leading the snakeskin boots leader to suspect the presence of law enforcement. This triggers a revelation for the jean jacket man; he was an undercover cop infiltrating the gang.

Amid the turmoil, the broken-nosed man reemerges from the shadows, launching an attack on the gang, and ultimately meets a devastating end, along with the remaining gang members. In a climactic moment, the rancher shirt man, revealed to be Coles, saves the jean jacket man’s life by shooting the gang leader just as he prepares to execute him. As police sirens approach, they find the jean jacket man has survived the harrowing ordeal.

As both men are treated for their injuries, Eliza arrives and embraces her husband, Coles. However, as the jean jacket man observes the couple, memories flood back, including the horrifying realization that he had an affair with Eliza and orchestrated the kidnapping to secure wealth and win her affection. Overcome with guilt, he returns the ransom money to the authorities, forcing him to confront the betrayal and devastation he has caused. Coles introduces Eliza to the jean jacket man, leaving him to grapple with the weight of his actions.
