 Tony Archer is a technical wizard. He got burned by Jack Clairmont. He tried to break into his office to get something on him but was caught by Clairmont. Clairmont then proceeded to kill the security guard who was in the room with them and frame Archer. He wants Archer to go to the prison where Allie Thompson is in. It seems that she stole a great deal of money from Clairmont, which Clairmont needs. So in exchange for Archer s freedom Clairmont wants Archer to break her out and convince her to tell him where the money is. Now the prison they are in has a unique security system; each prisoner is fitted with a collar that has an explosive device that will explode if anyone goes beyond the outskirts of the prison. Archer was able to locate Allie, and was able to reprogram their collars not to explode if they leave the prison but if they should be apart for than 100 yards, they will explode, so they have to stay together. While Archer knows he has to to do waht Clairmont says, he also knows that Clairmont is duplicitous, and will kill him when he gets him what he wants. When he tells Allie, she tells Archer that there could a way to prove his innocence, but they have to go back to Clairmont s office to do it. So they break in, and Clairmont catches them, and tries to kill them but they manage to escape with the evidence and the money. So Clairmont chases them.
