When his estranged uncle Ned Rooster Tracy is critically injured while pursuing fugitive financier Maxwell Stone, law student James Skip Tracy reluctantly abandons his studies to take over the family's struggling bounty hunting business. Determined to save both the family farm and cover his uncle's mounting medical bills, Skip faces immediate resistance from his rough-around-the-edges cousins, Rabbit and Bull.
What begins as a simple fugitive hunt quickly escalates when Skip discovers the pursuit of Stone-dubbed D.B. Cooper Squared for his elusive nature-leads straight to the highest corridors of power. The chase transforms into a deadly game of cat and mouse with ruthless private contractors led by the merciless Hauser, who are clearly working for powerful political interests desperate to keep Stone's secrets buried.
Skip, who always struggled to find meaning in his law classes despite working two jobs to stay afloat, now finds himself thrown into the deep end of real-world justice. His affluent girlfriend Amber urges him to return to school and their planned future clerking for a prominent judge, but Skip can't abandon his family in their time of need.
At his uncle's bail bonds office, Skip meets Naomi-Rooster's wild, motorcycle-riding partner and an accomplished bounty hunter in her own right. As Amber returns to law school alone, Skip stays behind, developing complicated feelings for Naomi while she gives him a crash course in the art of bounty hunting. Together, they track down small-time bail jumpers to keep the business afloat, all while searching for clues to Stone's whereabouts.
Despite his initial reluctance, Skip discovers he has a natural talent for bounty hunting, though tensions with his cousins remain high. When they finally uncover a lead on Stone's location, Skip agrees to an audacious plan-impersonating a black hat hacker whom Stone had hired to decrypt sensitive files from the president's son's laptop.
The scheme spirals out of control when U.S. Marshal Sam Nero and rival bounty hunters crash the meeting, triggering a chaotic shootout. In the aftermath, Bull commandeers a plane for their escape, only to be forced down by Hauser's high-tech drones. When Naomi vanishes with Stone, Skip fears she may have betrayed them for a hefty payoff.
Now Skip must race to Mexico to find Naomi before Hauser's black ops team eliminates them both. Meanwhile, Amber uncovers a conspiracy involving a corrupt judge and Rooster's bondsman partner, making herself a target and raising the stakes even higher.
With nothing but his wits, newfound skills, and reluctant family allies, Skip must save Naomi, protect Amber, bring in Stone, and expose the conspiracy before it's too late.
He has the name, now he's in the game.
SKIP TRACY...
The legend begins.
