Chev Chelios è un killer che ha smesso di uccidere per amore della bella Eve. Ma il boss dei duri e cattivi malavitosi della West Coast non ci sta e lo condanna a una morte singolare. Durante il sonno, lo schizzato Ricky Verona inietta a Chev un veleno che arresta il cuore. Per sopravvivere il suo corpo dovrà costantemente rilasciare adrenalina. Far reagire il cuore, creando situazioni di stress, sarà la missione del killer pentito. Lecito e vitale qualsiasi espediente: provocare afroamericani incazzati e armati, guidare in un centro commerciale, scolare Red Bull, cavalcare una moto o possedere la compagna sui marciapiedi di Los Angeles.
