The story follows Turk Henry (Antonio Banderas); a mega platinum rock star who's married to a supermodel Sheila (Olga Kurylenko) and rich beyond his wildest dreams. Turk was kicked out of his own band when he abandoned them while he was dating Sheila. Turk claims that he met Sheila when he went to a treatment resort for sex addiction. To rub it in, the band went on to be super popular without Turk and sells a million copies of their first album after splitting with Turk. Turk has now not left his Malibu mansion for 2 years. Turk doesn't do anything around the house himself. When he is angry, he orders his house servant to throw the TV into the pool for him. Turk is from Chile but claims that he is from London and cannot speak Spanish. Turk does say that the Mayor of the town erected a statue of him in Santiago after his last performance there. Turk loves the van in his driveway which has been with him since his starting days as a band member. Turk says that it is a reminder of how far he has come. Sheila forces Turk to holiday in Chile (Sheila has to drag Turk out of the house and she claims that she wants to learn about Turk's culture). Unfortunately, they arrive in the winter season and the hotel is near empty. Turk is only interested in drinking beer and sleeping, and thus Sheila is forced to take a tour bus into the jungle to see the Llamas, by herself. The tour bus has 2 more couples with her. One couple on the tour bus had brought along weapons to shoot the Llamas, but Sheila intervenes and stops them from shooting the animals. The animals instead attack the couple, and the man dies with a strong head butt into his chest, and he discharges his rifle which hits the woman, killing her on the spot. Sheila is mysteriously abducted by a group of renegades, ship-less pirates. Sheila is imprisoned with fellow Kidnappees Sandrine (Anna Francolini) & Charlie (Jeremy Swift). Charlie runs a double-glazing company back in London and offers to pay the ransom in windows. Sheila realizes that the gang are not hardened criminals, and the leader Juan admits that this is their first kidnapping, and they have been pirates for less than 9 hours. The kidnappers figure out that Sheila is Turk's wife (as she had a tattoo of his famous band Metal Assassins on her hand) and call the hotel for a ransom of $ 1 MM, which is apparently chump change for Turk. Turk claims that once he paid $2 MM for a tortoise. Turk calls his agents John Hardigger (David Mitchell) in London to ask for the money. John refuses to speak with Turk and that leaves him to deal with John's assistant Marybeth (Aisling Loftus). The money is made available at a local bank, but Turk has to go and pick it. He is terrified to "do something himself". Ben Harding (Mark Valley) is the FBI agent in Santiago assigned to the case. Ramon (Fernando Godoy) is Ben's local liaison. Ben hates Santiago and the decaying smell of the town. Ben believes that Chile is a dead end and would love to go back to the states. He wants to investigate the terrorist angle in the Sheila kidnapping as that would mean a sure-fire promotion for him. Ben doesn't want Turk to get the money as that would mean that the case would be settled soon and no promotion for him. Ben tells Turk that he cannot be allowed to pay the random and fund the terrorists. So, when Turk gets the money, Ben chases him all over town to snatch it from Turk, and Ben is successful in taking away the money suitcase from Turk. On the way, Turk runs into his own statue in the city. Ben warns Turk to stay in his hotel. Meanwhile a soft attraction is brewing between Sheila and kidnapper gang leader Juan Carlos (Ben Cura). Juan reveals that all the gang members are typical middle-class folks, with regular jobs. But their meager incomes were not enough to help them meet their expenses. With no other option, Turk calls Marybeth in code language (as he knows Ben is tapping his phone) and asks her to come to Chile. Marybeth reaches Chile & hires security consultant Clive Muggleton (Martin Dingle Wall), who keeps making inappropriate comic sexual advances towards Marybeth. Ben leans on Clive's company and gets them to drop the case, but Clive approaches Turk and says he will take the case for $ 0.5 MM. The team of Turk, Marybeth and Clive devise a plan to confuse Ben and extract money from the bank to pay the ransom. But the plan goes wrong when Ben follows Clive and seemingly kills him in a hands on fight. With Clive gone, Turk has no option but to deliver the money himself. He takes a boat, but Ben is in close pursuit. But then Clive shows up to Marybeth and says that he faked his death to escape Ben. Marybeth and Clive both decide to help Turk. Turk reaches the kidnappers lair as per the delivery instructions, but first Ben and then Marybeth and Clive also get there. Juan is angry as he asked Turk to come alone. Ben is killed by his own hand grenade as he tries to disrupt the deal between Turk and Juan. Turk declares his love for Sheila and since Juan is a big fan of Turk's band, they make a deal.
