Plot

In the heart of the city's underbelly, Frank Dooley (John Candy), a former cop, finds himself unfairly stripped of his badge, having been framed by the very colleagues he once trusted. In the same boat, Herman Kane (Eugene Levy), a once promising attorney, finds himself jobless after succumbing to his crippling anxiety in the court room. With their professional lives in shambles, the unlikely duo finds a shred of hope in a private security firm, seeking a fresh start. However, their new-found stability quickly crumbles when the first warehouse they are assigned to guard becomes the target of a daring heist. Dooley and Kane find themselves in the crosshairs, scapegoats for a crime they didn't commit. But something doesn't add up. With a growing suspicion about the security firm's union, they peel back the layers of deceit, plunging headfirst into a world of collusion and corruption. As they journey deeper into this treacherous maze, Dooley's street-smarts and Kane's legal expertise become their only lifelines. They make enemies at every turn, rattling cages that were meant to stay shut. With the odds stacked high against them, the question remains - can this mismatched pair unravel the conspiracy and emerge victorious, clearing their names and saving the day? Armed with nothing but their ingenuity and determination, they face the challenge head-on, proving that sometimes, heroes emerge from the most unlikely places.
