A group of weekend-warrior friends who decide to rev up their ho-hum suburban lives with one last-hurrah, cross-country motorcycle trip.

But when these guys hit the road, they have no idea it’s going to hit back… hard. Now, finding themselves in an unwitting rivalry with the real-life, bad-ass biker gang known as the Del Fuegos, and faced with secrets within their own ranks, this out-of-their-league foursome is about to discover that heading down the road to nowhere can take you places you never expected.
