Returning to society after 3 years, Ryo catches the attention of the local triads for his natural ferocity and dedication to destruction.

They are good-for-nothing youths who make a living out of petty con jobs. A chance meeting with a big criminal Boss(Prem Chopra) changes the course of their lives. He confesses to having hidden ten crores under a "big W". He tells them because in a cruel world like today, no one comes to help but when the four found him taking his last breaths after a accident, they tried to help him but he said he knew he was going to die. Thats where he revealed there is 10crore in Goa's St. Sebastin Garden. This is where the Rat Race begins to get to the booty first.

But close on their heels is Inspector Kabir Nayak (Sanjay Dutt), who has been trying to nail Boss for a decade. Thanks to the duffer Manav, who blurts out about the hidden treasure, because when Kabir catches the four, Boman lies and tells him the wrong place where the treasure is hidden but Manav blurts out the truth because he thinks they cheated him because during the accident, he went to fetch some water. Kabir joins the race as well.

They are joined by quite a few colourful characters in the course of their chase; veteran comedian Asrani, "PK Dubey" (Vijay Raaz), an eccentric bus-jacker/dacoit among others.

When they finally get the money they decide to give it all up for a philanthrophic cause, and surprisingly they all feel good about themselves in spite of all the troubles they take to actually get it.

The W is made of 4 crossing coconut trees.
