In the high-stakes world of pharmaceutical espionage, mild-mannered businessman Harold Soyinka, played by David Oyelowo, discovers his life unraveling during a routine trip to Mexico. Working for a duplicitous duo, his cutthroat bosses Charlize Theron and Joel Edgerton, Harold learns the company's new marijuana pill is illegal and he's become an expendable pawn in their dangerous game. When a deal goes violently awry, Harold fakes his own kidnapping, hoping to escape with a payout, but instead plunges headfirst into a chaotic vortex of mercenaries, drug cartels, and double-crosses. Directed by Nash Edgerton, this darkly comedic thriller races through a landscape where no one is who they seem, forcing the desperate "gringo" to outsmart everyone from a shady fixer Sharlto Copley to relentless criminals. As the bullets fly and the lies multiply, Harold must summon a cunning he never knew he possessed to survive the explosive mess he helped create.
