After the events of the first film, Hutch Mansell has to go on assignments for The Barber as an assassin to pay off the debt he owes after destroying a Russian obshchak. His relationship with his family has grown distant as a result, especially with his wife, Becca. Exhausted from his last assignment, Hutch tells The Barber that he needs a break to be closer to his family, The Barber agrees although warns Hutch that trouble follows him, saying "Wherever you go, there you are". He plans a family trip to Plummerville, which has an amusement park, promising Becca to leave his life as Nobody for the vacation. While at an arcade, his teenage son Brady gets in trouble after Max, a local teenage bully, destroys a plush meant for his younger sister Sammy. This causes the whole family to be kicked out. When an employee slaps the back of Sammy's head, Hutch tries to ignore it but impulsively beats up the staff, drawing the ire of both Wyatt, the owner of the amusement park, and Abel, a corrupt sheriff. Wyatt wants Hutch and his family kicked out, but Abel secretly tells his men to kill them.

The next day, on a boat, Hutch is attacked by some of Abel's men, losing his pinky finger in the process. He soon finds out from his brother, Harry, that Plummerville is a bootlegging route, while The Barber informs him that the route belongs to Lendina, whom Abel works for, and Wyatt has to pay off. When Wyatt tells Lendina this is his last payment, she has Abel kidnap his son, Max. Hutch, wanting to de-escalate the situation, tells Abel that he and his family will leave town. But, when he sees the kidnapped Max, he decides to rescue him and burns a stash of Lendina's money and drugs ultimately destroying the warehouse, scarring Abel in the resulting explosion.
