The neon signs of downtown flicker against the rain-slicked streets as Ray Hayes, a tired ex-cop turned reluctant mob enforcer, stares into the grimy mirror of a dive bar. Tonight, the job went sideways. A botched hit, a dead informant, and now his boss, the ruthless Ignatius Locke, wants Ray to clean up the mess. But cleaning up means Ray’s family is in danger. His wife, Alice Hayes, already suspects Ray isn’t just pushing papers at his “office job.” Ray knows he has only one night to get Alice and their kids out of the city, away from Locke’s long reach and the impending storm of violence. Charlie Brooks, Ray’s unreliable partner, owes him big time. Can he be trusted or will he cause Ray to spend his only get-out-of-jail-free card? A clock ticks ominously, each second a reminder of the tightening noose around Ray’s neck and the desperate race against time to save everything he holds dear.

Guns Up Movie Storyline
In the gritty underbelly of a nameless city, Ray Hayes, a seemingly ordinary family man played by Kevin James, leads a double life. By day, he’s a loving father and former cop, struggling to make ends meet; by night, he’s a reluctant henchman for the ruthless mob boss Ignatius Locke portrayed by Luis Guzmán. When a high-stakes heist goes catastrophically wrong, leaving bodies and a trail of evidence, Ray finds himself caught in a deadly crossfire. Locke, suspecting betrayal, tasks Ray with cleaning up the mess, a task that demands eliminating loose ends, some of whom are Ray’s close associates. Torn between his loyalty to his family, including his wife Alice Hayes played by Christina Ricci, and his fear of Locke’s wrath, Ray is forced to make an impossible choice. He realizes the only way to protect his family is to betray the very organization he’s sworn to serve. He enlists the help of Charlie Brooks an old acquaintance, to navigate the treacherous criminal landscape. As the night unfolds, Ray must outwit Locke’s enforcers, including the menacing Lonny Costigan played by Timothy V. Murphy, while desperately trying to secure safe passage out of the city for his wife and children. The thrilling night culminates in a tense showdown, where Ray confronts Locke, forcing him to choose between loyalty and survival. In a desperate gamble, Ray uses his knowledge of Locke’s operations to bring down the entire criminal enterprise, securing his family’s freedom but forever altering their lives.
