Sam e il suo amico Mitch devono procurarsi al più presto cinquantamila dollari: il padre di Sam ha infatti bisogno di un costoso trapianto cardiaco. L'unico problema è che nessuno dei due è capace di trovare e mantenere un lavoro. L'idea di Mitch è di sfruttare l'unico talento che ha: trovare il modo migliore per vendicarsi dei torti subiti. I due decidono quindi di aprire un'agenzia della vendetta: una ditta che progetti e realizzi vendette facendole pagare a caro prezzo. Dovranno fare i conti con Travis Cole, un agente immobiliare senza scrupoli.
