Plot: Crockett (Josh Holloway) and Tubbs (Taye Diggs) respond to a bank robbery in downtown Miami. They see the thief running out of the bank and into a construction site. They give chase on foot, eventually finding the thief, Izzy Lamont (Mike Epps), hiding behind some crates covered in bright green anti-theft dye from the money he stole. Back at OCB, Lt. Castillo (Andy Garcia) mentions to Crockett and Tubbs that this would be Lamont's third felony conviction. Lamont begins giving up the names of every criminal he knows in a desperate attempt to stay of prison since he'd have to serve some serious time now. He lists off a series of low-level offenders that do not interest the detectives, until he mentions the name Lew McCarthy. Castillo tells Crockett and Tubbs that there is an open investigation on McCarthy due to alleged drug smuggling activities.
Tubbs visits a marina undercover and meets McCarthy (William Mapother), who mentions his annual boat race to Bimini and back. Tubbs asks how one enters the race, but McCarthy refuses to enter any more participants. Tubbs continues to try to ingratiate himself in McCarthy's business, mentioning his own other business interests other than boating, but McCarthy isn't interested. McCarthy introduces Tubbs to his accountant, Gifford (Matt Barr), who Tubbs recognizes as one of Crockett's informants. Before Tubbs leaves the marina, McCarthy invites Tubbs to watch the upcoming race.
Later that day, Crockett and Tubbs visit Gifford at his office. They ask Gifford to show them McCarthy's account information, but they don't see any evidence of illegal activity in the numbers. They do learn however that Gifford is skimming money from McCarthy's account for McCarthy's girlfriend, who Gifford tells them runs a high-end mens clothing store. Crockett and Tubbs decide to go shopping, and meet McCarthy's girlfriend, Vanessa (Chanel Iman), at her store. Tubbs and Vanessa immediately hit it off while Tubbs tries on jackets. They tell her that they are friends with McCarthy, and she invites them to brunch with her and Lew the next day. At brunch, Tubbs and Vanessa show a clear attraction for each other. Crockett, meanwhile, tries to talk McCarthy into giving him a slot in the race. Vanessa invites them all to a party at McCarthy's beach front house that night.
Before the party, Crockett and Tubbs search McCarthy's boat for any smuggling compartments, but don't find anything. Tubbs tells Crockett they need to hurry up and get to the party, but Crockett knows Tubbs just wants to see Vanessa, and warns him about getting involved with her. Tubbs assures Crockett that he is only using Vanessa to get to McCarthy. At the party, Tubbs and Vanessa continue to flirt, but they are interrupted by Gifford who invites Vanessa to dance. Crockett finds McCarthy beating his other guests at billiards and challenges him to a game. Crockett proposes that if McCarthy wins, he gets Crockett's Ferrari, but if Crockett wins he gets a slot in the race. Crockett dominates the match, easily defeating McCarthy. Crockett shakes McCarthy's hand and tells him he has a race to get ready for. Tubbs, meanwhile, is dancing with Vanessa. They end up kissing on the dance floor. After the dance, McCarthy confronts Tubbs at the bar, but does not seem upset. As Crockett is leaving the party, Lamont approaches him and tells him he has some important information for him. Just as he's about to tell him, they both hear a woman screaming outside. Everybody rushes over to see what is going on, and see Gifford's dead body being pulled out of the ocean.
At OCB, Crockett suggest that Gifford was killed because McCarthy must have found out he was an informant or because he was having an affair with Vanessa in exchange for Gifford skimming money from McCarthy's accounts into hers. Tubbs scoffs at Crockett's second suggestion, but Crockett says that he feels Tubbs is being blinded by his attraction to Vanessa. The detectives meet with Castillo, who tells them that Gifford was shot once in the back of the head before being dumped in the water. Crockett tells Castillo that he needs $25,000 to use as the ante in McCarthy's race. Castillo says he can't get him that much money since headquarters doesn't have enough confidence in Crockett's racing ability. He suggests they go see Gina (Katrina Law) and Trudy (Megalyn Echikunwoke) since they currently have $25,000 in buy money for a drug bust they are working on. Crockett and Tubbs arrive at the location of the drug bust to find Gina, Trudy, Switek (Brad William Henke) and Zito (Troy Garity) chasing a dealer around a beachfront hotel before finally busting him. Crockett convinces Gina to lend him their bust money, promising to get it back to her after the race. She warns him that he could mess up her career if she isn't able to turn the money back in to the police department.
On the day of the race, Crockett, Tubbs and Zito arrive late in Crockett's speed boat and almost miss the start of the race. During the race they finally discover how McCarthy is smuggling his drugs into Miami. He is using two identical boats, the first of which is piloted by men impersonating McCarthy and his crew and runs the outbound leg to Bimini. The second boat is driven by McCarthy and carries the drugs back by discreetly taking the place of the first boat and makes the return run to Miami. Crockett pushes his modified cigarette boat to victory in the race. At the marina after the race, McCarthy and his crew are arrested by Castillo and a group of Metro-Dade police officers.
That night, Crockett is spending a romantic evening on his yacht with Gina when Lamont arrives. Lamont shows Crockett a gun and tells him what he was trying to say at the party. The gun is the one used to kill Gifford. Lamont tells Crockett and Gina that he witnessed the murder and that Vanessa was the killer. Crockett and Gina go to Vanessa's house to arrest her. They knock at the door, and Tubbs answers. Crockett tells him that they found the gun used to kill Gifford and that Vanessa's fingerprints are all over it. Tubbs goes back inside and arrests Vanessa. Back at the station, Vanessa confesses, telling them she tried to break off her affair with Gifford because she was falling for Tubbs, but he threatened to tell McCarthy about the money she got him to skim from his accounts.
