[edit] Plot

In an abandoned warehouse, a handful of men slowly regain consciousness, but they’ve been stricken with amnesia by spilled chemicals and have no idea who they are, where they are, or what has happened to them. All five seem to have been in some sort of serious scuffle; one is tied up on a chair (Joe Pantoliano), another has been handcuffed and shot (Jeremy Sisto), a third has a broken nose (Greg Kinnear), and the other two have their share of scrapes and bruises (Jim Caviezel and Barry Pepper). Everyone is asleep at the start. Caviezel's character wakes up first. He checks to make sure everyone is alive and then decides to walk around and try and find out whats going on. He discovers that all the windows have bars over them and the only door has a mechanized lock. He finds picks up a ringing phone. The caller asks what going on and Caviezel tells the caller that everyone is fine. The Caller tells him he'll be back in a few hours. Meanwhile somewhere else a money drop off is going down. Mrs. Coles has been kidnapped. Back in the warehouse Pantolianio's character wakes up and asks to be untied. As Caviezel's character is going to untie him Pepper's character convinces him not to telling him that he is obviously not on the same side as them or he wouldn't have been tied up. As Caviezel and Pepper start looking for the keys to release Sisto from the handcuffs and treat his wound Kinnear wakes and gets into a fight with Caviezel and Peppers. Back at the drop off the signal in the money bag goes silent and the cops rush in to find the money someone has opened the locker from the basement. In the warehouse the men find a newspaper which features a front-page story about the kidnapping of a wealthy and well-known businessman named Coles. The men begin to suspect that they were involved with the kidnapping, but no one is sure if they’re on the right or wrong side of the law – or if one of them might happen to be the victim. The men decided to work together to fight off the criminals who are coming and then all of them will go their separate ways. Sisto dies from his wounds.
