After his latest dramatic flop, Kevin enlists Oscar-winner Jillian Jones to introduce him to prestigious filmmaker Jackson Pepper; Pepper doubts Kevin's commitment as an actor but entices him with the opportunity of an exciting part.

Jordan King plays the role of thief-stealing bonds, nuclear codes, and more-all as an elaborate audition for filmmaker Jackson Pepper; when her latest task leads her to Jackson Pepper's mansion, she finds a frantic Kevin Hart and her next assignment.

Kevin and Jordan grapple with Jackson Pepper's passing and his motives, stunned by their twisted role research; FBI agent John Fisher investigates the crime scene with a rookie; surveillance footage incriminates Kevin, with Jordan as his accomplice.

Reeling from the accident, Kevin and Jordan face a twist: the woman they hit orchestrated the entire accident to study for a role and she is not dead; seeking answers with their new companion, Pearl, they visit Roger Richards, an ex-cop.

Kevin dons a disguise as forensics expert Lionel Pendergrass; Jordan and Pearl bond as they wait in the getaway car; despite Fisher's suspicions-and some questionably feigned bowel movements-Kevin escapes with the surveillance tapes.

As dawn breaks, Fisher drives Kevin, Jordan, and Pearl to an unknown location; Pearl recognizes the agent from beer commercials; this prompts Fisher to reveal an elusive backstory of how he became an FBI agent for a Jackson Pepper role.

Trapped between aballoon and a hot place by Agent Fisher, Kevin delivers a heartfelt monologue, moving even their hard-ass captor; Jordan frees them, knocking out Fisher; Jackson Pepper appears, alive, revealing his staged passing.
