Synopsis
À la suite d'une opération policière, un agent double est enlevé par des motards criminels. Deux policiers, le père et le fils qui sont incapables de s'entendre, doivent retrouver leur collègue, et leur seule chance est de faire craquer l'avocat des motards, Charles Bérubé (Rémy Girard). Celui-ci, surveillé de près par la police, est sur le point de trahir la bande mais est inapprochable. Cependant, l'avocat est mis au pied du mur par sa conjointe : pour contrer les tendances suicidaires de son fils, il doit passer avec lui une semaine en forêt pour une thérapie de groupe père-fils organisée par un psychologue (Robin Aubert). Les policiers y inscrivent leur couple père-fils dysfonctionnel pour essayer d'amener l'avocat à collaborer.Actors

Luc et Marco, deux humoristes méconnus, font le tour des petites villes du Québec avec leur spectacle respectif ; le premier, blasé et antipathique, est trop cérébral, alors que l'autre, enjoué et dynamique, est trop vulgaire. Un seul numéro, qu'ils exécutent collectivement, a un certain succès auprès de l'auditoire. Il consiste simplement à insulter publiquement un membre de l'assemblée jusqu'à la limite de l'insolence. Malheureusement pour eux, à l'Anse-au-Pic, une petite localité en bordure de la rivière Saguenay, ils humilient Roger Gendron, le cuisinier timide et renfrogné du casse-croûte local.

Eight years after the events of the first film, Miami Police Department (MPD) narcotics division detectives Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowrey are investigating the flow of highly-potent ecstasy into the city. Their surveillance of boats coming in from Cuba leads them to a Ku Klux Klan meeting and drug drop in a swamp docks outside Miami. The subsequent raid on the Klan members proves to be a disaster; malfunctioning radios delay back-up, causing a firefight when Mike accidentally shoots Marcus in the buttocks, while the Klan members are revealed to be mere small-time buyers and not the distributors of the ecstasy. The incident leaves Marcus to further question if he still wants to partner with Mike, while Mike fears that Marcus may discover his new relationship with Marcus' sister, Syd.
