After his adopted son Jimmy Boy is released from prison, mob boss Sosa and his men celebrate. Among them is Nick, a loan shark whose wife Alice is having an affair with Quick Draw Mike. Mike, wanting to leave the organization, agrees to help Nick with a job, only to discover the Nick he is working with is from the future. This future Nick reveals that he traveled back in time to save Mike from being killed by Sosa's assassin, 'The Barron'. The two Nicks (present and future) eventually capture the present Nick and Alice. While the future Nick tries to protect Mike from the assassin, the truth of their situation is complicated by the fact that Alice is pregnant with Mike's child. After a series of ruses and a confrontation with the real Barron, the group prepares to take down Sosa's organization at a final party. During the final confrontation, they successfully eliminate Sosa's men. However, the chaos results in the death of the present-day Nick, causing the future Nick to cease to exist. In a final twist, Alice reveals another time machine exists, and Mike activates it to give Nick a second chance.
