Anthony Mendoza, an inner-city drug dealer on the run, joins the Army, only to clash with Chris Wright, a hard-headed Christian determined to share his faith despite persecution.

He and his girlfriend, a diamond smuggling model, go straight and attempt to pay it forward with motivational speeches, mentorship and altruism. All hell breaks loose when they are drawn back into the criminal world.
