Although Domino Harvey is the main character in the film, she is only a peripheral character in the story line.
The film's storyline begins with Frances Cigliutti, son of local mob boss Anthony Cigliutti. Frances, his brother Chuckie and two of their friends want fake IDs and after talking to their friend Kee Kee Rodriguez, go to the DMV office where Kee Kee's mother Lateesha Rodriguez works, where Lateesha runs a business in fake IDs on the side. However, the Cigliutti boys' every move has been carefully watched by the FBI. So, shortly before Frances contacts Lateesha, Lateesha is contacted by the FBI who want to know why Frances needs fake ID's. Lateesha, afraid of going to jail because of her fake ID-business decides to give the FBI a spectacular lie in order to get them off her back. So she tells the FBI that Frances and his friends are planning to rob an armored truck transporting 10 million dollars belonging to casino owner Drake Bishop. However, this is not the Cigliutti boys' plan but Lateesha's own. Lateesha, 28, is already a grandmother and her grandchild has a rare disease for which she has to undergo expensive surgery. Since Lateesha doesn't have the money for the surgery, her lover Claremont Williams has thought up a plan. Claremont, owner of a company that supplies armored trucks and bounty hunters, had planned to let Lateesha, her friend Raul and her two nieces Lashandra and Lashindra steal the money from his own truck, disguised as First Ladies. He would then contact Bishop to offer Bishop his bounty hunters in order to get the money back and he would also ask Bishop to pay a $300,000 fee for the bounty hunters. Bishop would pay the money, the bounty hunters would bring the money back and Lateesha would have the money for the surgery. But, now that Lateesha has gotten the Cigliutti boys and the FBI involved, things get difficult.
At first, Claremont decides to go through with the plan anyway. So, Lateesha, Raul, Lashandra and Lashindra steal the money and load it into their own car which is being driven by Locus Fender. Halfway through their escape, Claremont suddenly realises that not only the Cigliutti boys and the FBI are involved but also the entire mob, seeing as how the Cigliutti boys are mob sons and because Bishop is also a mob associate, making the 10 million dollars mob money. Claremont orders the First Ladies to abort the mission and leave the money. This of course leaves Locus, completely unaware of what is going on, with the money, which he subsequently hides in his mother Edna's freezer.
In the meantime, Mr. Bishop is being told that his money has been stolen by the Cigliutti boys. Bishop then orders Claremont's bounty hunters Ed, Choco and Domino to catch the Cigliutti boys and their two friends and bring them to him. The bounty hunters, also completely unaware of what's going on but being followed by a TV crew because they're the subject of a reality show, go after the four boys and deliver them to Bishop who at first plans to kill them but, after it turns out that they know nothing of the heist, just abandons them in the desert. However, the FBI, keen on arresting the Cigliutti boys' father Anthony, decide to tell Anthony that his two sons have been killed by Bishop, hoping that this will prompt a reaction from Anthony for which they can arrest him.
Meanwhile, Claremont has ordered his bounty hunters Ed, Choco and Domino to get the 10 million dollars back. The bounty hunters get instructions to capture Locus Fender and make him lead them to the money, seeing as how the combination to Locus' mother Edna's vault is tatooed on Locus' right arm. The bounty hunters then go to Edna, retrieve the money (in the process, severing Locus's arm with a shotgun because they misinterpreted their orders) and contact Claremont who sets up a meeting between the bounty hunters and Mr. Bishop in the tower of a Las Vegas casino. However, Anthony Cigliutti, still furious about his sons' alleged deaths, finds out about the meeting between Bishop and the bounty hunters and sends his men to the same tower in order to kill Bishop.
The film concludes with a big shoot-out in the tower after which Domino is captured by the FBI and interrogated by a psychologist (the whole movie is actually a flashback as Domino is telling the events to psychologist Taryn Mills).
Apart from this main story line, the film has a lot of smaller story lines. We see how Domino began her career as a bounty hunter, the making of the reality TV show, Domino's relation with her mentor Ed, her lover Choco and her mother Paulene, and Lateesha's visit to The Jerry Springer Show.
