Kidnapping. Extortion. Murder. Fried Chicken.
Pluck's Chicken Palace is one of the most successful fast-food restaurant chains in the world. Their signature Secret Sauce is the most popular item on the menu, and has been that way for over 60 years. No-one in the world knows the blend of complex ingredients except three people at one time, who are forbidden to travel together, not even be in each other's company to protect the recipe should one, or two, perish.
A freak accident sees two of those three executives perish, leaving one person with the only knowledge to keep this billion dollar franchise alive. That person is General Reuben Wallace, who lives in a small town in Arizona and frequents a saloon run by two lovers, Rose and Winter.
When the two women learn their dreams are soon-to-be crushed by losing their bar, they decide to kidnap Reuben and attempt to hold him ransom lest the Plucky's corporation pay them handsomely.
The Plucky's corporation have recently recovered from a string of bad publicity and do not wish any more complications. So they opt to send their head lawyer and security expert to deal with the would-be kidnappers to negotiate. When a local hippie couple learn the head of a massive animal cruelty organization is within their reach, it becomes a race against time for everyone involved to get a piece of their Plucky's Chicken Palace pie before the recipe is lost forever.
A bad-tempered saloon owner and her eccentric girlfriend. A bitter old billionaire. A teenage Mormon busboy. A deranged security firm chief. A ex-heavyweight boxer turned cross-dressing bodyguard. A growth stunted animal activist with a big chip on her shoulder. A corporate lawyer moonlighting as a life coach. A successful cutthroat businesswoman with a foul mouth.
Plucky's Chicken Palace is a fast-food empire that relies on its signature menu item: The Secret Sauce. Only three board members in the world know the exact ingredients of this utterly delicious, and addictive, substance. Well, now only one member, after two of them perish in a freak accident.
When the key recipe to this billion dollar restaurant chain is at stake, four groups of people, and a coyote, become entangled in a kidnapping plot that spirals violently out of control.
A race against time for these desperate strangers with their own agendas, who will do absolutely anything to make sure they have their treasure in the form of a creamy fried chicken condiment.
