Felix De La Pena (Leguizamo) is a hardworking armored-truck driver, a loving husband to his wife Marina (Perez) and a caring father of two in East LA's Boyle Heights neighborhood. After being abducted and shot in the head during a hijacking led by Adell Baldwin (Gibson), Felix loses his memory, exhibits erratic post-trauma behavior, and is framed as a prime suspect for the crime.
