When three hardened career criminals find themselves confined inside an abandoned warehouse with law enforcement closing in, they quickly discover that the police aren’t their only threat to freedom – a killer dog is on the loose and hunting down all three crooks.

After a batch of cocaine being smuggled all the way from Colombia to Canada (via the United States) is curiously lost along the way, the head of a drug cartel instructs one of his workers to figure out where and what exactly went wrong in a bid to ensure it never happens again. Cook (Nicolas Cage) is the worker in question and must attempt to find out who is meddling with the batch, especially when people taking the drug suddenly start dying. A fairly short and easy movie to follow that does a great job in keeping the viewers interest from the start.
