Plot[]
Maindrian Pace (H.B. Halicki) is an insurance investigator by day and a professional car thief by night. When a South American drug lord offers Pace $400,000 to steal 48 cars in five days, the assignment seems like an easy week's work for Pace and his gang until he's sold out. After he steals a car known as "Eleanor" in Long Beach, California, the police are suddenly on his tail. Pace ends up in a desperate car chase across Southern California, from Long Beach to Carson.
