Auf dem absoluten Tiefpunkt seines Lebens angekommen, ist der ehemalige Army Ranger Jackson Briggs auf der Suche nach einem Neuanfang. Der bietet sich ihm, als er auf die belgische Schäferhündin Lulu trifft. Jahrelang stand sie im Dienst der U.S. Army – bis ihr Hundeführer starb und nun seine Beerdigung ansteht. Damit Jackson wieder in den Dienst treten darf, muss er Lulu zur Beerdigung ihres Herrchens bringen – und das ist leichter gesagt als getan, denn die Hündin ist unberechenbar! Also schnallen sich die beiden in einen 1984er Ford Bronco und rasen die Pazifikküste entlang, in der Hoffnung, rechtzeitig zur Beerdigung des Kameraden zu kommen. Auf dem Weg dorthin treiben sie sich gegenseitig in den Wahnsinn, brechen eine Handvoll Gesetze, entgehen nur knapp dem Tod und lernen dennoch, wie innig eine Freundschaft zwischen Mensch und Tier werden kann …
