In Las Vegas, vice LVMPD policemen Vincent Downs (Jamie Foxx) and Sean Cass (T.I.) rob a shipment of cocaine belonging to entrepeneur Stanley Rubino (Dermot Mulroney), who is associated with mobster Rob Novak (Scoot McNairy), the son of a powerful mob boss. They volunteer to investigate the robbery in order to cover up their involvement, clashing with Internal Affairs investigators Jennifer Bryant (Michelle Monaghan) and Doug Dennison (David Harbour), who are suspicious of their involvement. Unbeknownst to them, Downs is undercover on behalf of Internal Affairs to dismantle the crime ring within the police department, which has left him estranged from his ex-wife Dena (Gabrielle Union) and their son, Thomas (Octavius J. Johnson).
While driving Thomas to soccer practice, Vincent is ambushed by Rubino's men, who stab him in the abdomen and kidnap Thomas, demanding the stolen cocaine back in exchange for Thomas's life. Vincent retrieves the cocaine from Cass, places it in a duffel bag and leaves it in the ventilation shaft of one of the bathrooms in Rubino's casino, but is unknowingly followed by Bryant, who hides it in the women's locker room nearby. Upon learning that the drugs were moved, Vincent is forced to present Rubino with a bag of sugar to ensure Thomas's safety, but Novak uncovers his ruse and Thomas is recaptured by Rubino's men, while Vincent manages to escape.
