Chad Stewart is a young man living on the dangerous South Side of Chicago with his father, a police detective. They maintain a decent relationship, but they've struggled after the horrific murder of Chad's older brother and the subsequent breakdown and departure of Chad's mother.
In love with a young woman, Chad is desperate to escape from the city with her and leave the bad memories behind. He seems out of options until he is offered a million-dollar prize to complete an exclusive game. Intrigued, he accepts the offer along with two other contestants, knowing that the money will be split between the winners.
But the competition is actually a deadly urban chase in which elite hunters try to kill the competitors before they reach the finish line.
Chad soon finds himself in a desperate fight for his life in the urban jungle. Orchestrating everything behind the scenes is a power-hungry elitist who will stop at nothing to become the leader of a secret organization known as The Council.
