Baby is a young getaway driver living in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was a child a car accident killed his parents and left him with tinnitus which he blocks out by listening to music on his iPod. He ferries crews of robbers led by a criminal mastermind named Doc, in order to pay off a debt he incurred after stealing one of Doc's cars. Between jobs, he creates remixes from snippets of conversations he records and cares for his deaf foster father Joseph.
While waiting for his next job, Baby meets a young waitress named Debora, whom he makes a connection with immediately and falls in love with. Doc assembles a new robbery crew, which includes Eddie No-Nose, JD, and a trigger-happy lunatic named Bats, who takes an immediate dislike to Baby. The robbery goes awry after an armed bystander chases Baby and the crew down, but he evades him and the police. Having paid his debt, Baby quits his life of crime and starts delivering pizzas instead. While Baby is on a date with Debora, Doc insists he join a heist at a post office, threatening to hurt Debora and Joseph if he refuses.
The new crew consists of Buddy, Darling, and Bats. While they attempt to purchase illegal arms for the job, Bats recognizes the dealers as police and opens fire. The group kills all of the dealers, and Darling is shot in the crossfire. Afterward, Bats makes Baby stop at the diner Debora works at, unaware of the pair's romance. To avoid paying for food, Bats almost shoots her, but Baby, aware of Bats' homicidal habit, stops him.
After arriving back at the safe house, Doc is furious, revealing that the dealers were dirty cops on his payroll. He decides to cancel the heist, but Bats, Buddy and Darling insist it continues. Doc lets Baby decide; he chooses to go through with it. Baby attempts to slip away late that night, hoping to take Debora and leave Atlanta. He is stopped by Buddy and Bats, who have discovered his recordings and believe he is an informant; when they and Doc hear his mixtapes, they are convinced of his innocence.
During the heist, Bats kills a security guard. Disgusted, Baby refuses to drive away, causing Bats to hit him in the face with a shotgun. In return, Baby rams the car into a rebar which impales Bats, killing him. The remaining three flee on foot. After the police kill Darling in a shootout, Buddy blames Baby for her death and vows to kill him. Baby steals a car and flees to his apartment. After leaving Joseph at an assisted living home with all of the money he earned from the heists to care for him, Baby drives to Debora's diner to pick her up, where an armed Buddy is waiting. Baby shoots Buddy, leaves him to be arrested, and flees with Debora as the police close in. The pair steal a car from a couple of junkies and drive away. Meanwhile, Buddy shoots the police officer.
Baby seeks help from Doc, who initially refuses to help. After seeing that Baby truly loves Debora, Doc supplies them with cash and directions to get out of the country, stating that he was in love once. The police that Bats had supposedly massacred earlier confront the three in the parking garage, but Doc kills them. Buddy then ambushes them with a stolen police car, driving into and killing Doc. A cat-and-mouse game ensues until Buddy has Baby at his mercy. He shoots next to both Baby's ears, deafening him. Debora disarms Buddy with a crowbar and Baby shoots him in the leg, causing him to fall to his death.
Fleeing Atlanta, Baby and Debora run into a police roadblock. Baby surrenders, telling Debora she does not belong in the world of crime. At Baby's trial Joseph, Debora and several people Baby had either saved or helped during various robberies testify for him. The judge sentences Baby to 25 years in prison with the possibility of parole after five. During his prison sentence, he receives postcards from Debora who promises to wait for him. When Baby is released on the day of the parole, he finds Debora waiting for him.
