Plot[edit]

The movie begins with a biker riding towards a biker party of the gang "Lost Legion" at their bar.
Former convict Cole and his accomplice Taylor drive up in their truck to the party and waits for the
leader to arrive. The leader, Rodrigo arrives minutes later and Taylor, as per plan performs a drive-by
killing Rodrigo. The gang members rush out of the bar shooting at the truck, mortally wounding
Taylor and injuring Cole as they drive away. Infuriated, the bikers begin to chase down the truck after
gathering all their ammo. Cole drives the truck into the parking lot of an amusement park and makes
an emergency call.

Meanwhile, former marine Jake Carter, now working as paramedic, with his partner Zoe, rescues a
woman named Ana after a crane carrying bricks falls onto her car; she dies shortly due to loss of
blood. As they depart, they receive a dispatch call stating that someone has undergone a "heart
attack" at the parking lot.

The paramedics arrive at the parking lot, locate Cole and a dead Taylor, but three of the gang
members arrive and intercept them. They attempt to escape in Cole's truck but the engine is
destroyed by the gunshots and they hide behind the pillars. Carter interrogates Cole why the biker
gang members are after him. He admits that someone forced him to kill Rodrigo, though he is a
driver and Taylor was the one who shot. Another gang member, Alonzo, orders to surrender who
shot Rodrigo or they will come to kill them. Deducing Cole to have lost a lot of blood, Zoe persuades
Carter to stabilize his condition. As he heads back to the truck to retrieve the medical kit that was left
behind, a gang member, Murphy intercepts him but Carter kills her, while Zoe creates a diversion to
allow Cole to hide safely but she is knocked out and taken hostage by Deacon.

While Carter treats his wounds and gives him morphine, Cole confesses that he did it in order to
protect his five-year-old daughter. Two floors above, Alonzo has Zoe at gunpoint, threatening to kill
her if Carter doesn't surrender the man responsible. Carter uses Taylor's corpse as a decoy and
presents him to Alonzo and Deacon, who release Zoe. After the both gang members depart, thinking
that the man solely responsible for Rodrigo's death is dead, Zoe calls out to Carter asking him to
untie her hands. Alonzo and Deacon, anticipating that they could now get rid of both paramedics,
shoot Zoe in the head, but Carter finds cover.

A leader figure Vincent arrives and Alonzo confirms the job as done but Vincent argues that there
were two men. Alonzo then starts searching for the second man and calls for back-up. As Carter
heads back to Cole, he is intercepted by another gang member. During the ensuing fight, Cole
manages to inject him with morphine from the medical kit and Carter finishes him off with an axe
and proceeds to an idle service elevator.

They hide in the elevator and Carter administers blood transfusion from Carter to Cole who reveals
that the motive was debt and the one who ordered the kill was one among the bikers. After Carter
kills another biker, they manage to escape from the parking lot. A shootout ensues at the park,
apparently killing Carter. Cole gets traced down by Alonzo and he verbally tortures him. Cole points
out that Vincent had forced him to kill Rodrigo and if not his family would be in danger. Vincent
explains that Rodrigo was weak and made alliances with other gangs. A betrayed Alonzo brutally
stabs Vincent, but Vincent's brother stops him and himself stabs him multiple times to death, saying
that he is doing it for the Lost Legion. Even then, he wanted to kill Cole. Recovering from his gunshot
wounds, Carter rescues Cole in an ambulance, not before Carter kills two remaining bikers and Cole
strangles Cash to death after fighting with him. They head to a construction site to call for medical
assistance.

Alonzo locates them and brutally wounds Carter in a fist-fight while Cole makes it towards the
rooftop. Alonzo confronts Cole but Carter appears and throws him off the building and he dies upon
landing on the ambulance. As Carter and Cole climb down the building, the medic teams arrive and
treat Cole. Carter tells Cole that he will have to tell the police about the entire incident and that he
will be going back to prison. Cole thanks Carter for saving his life and makes a statement that he can
at least see his daughter grow up.
