28-year old Chase Rogan participates against nine other people in a reality show called The Full Bounty for a chance to become a bounty hunter. However, unbeknownst to him, the entire show is an elaborate hoax and his fellow competitors are really actors. Chase meets bounty hunter and host Jake Montrose (Ralph Garman). Chase soon becomes uncomfortable with actor Lorenzo Lamas (who is playing himself), forms an alliance with Laverinus (Segun Oduolowu) and showcases his determination to win during a stun-gun competition. | ||||||
