Six years after the events of the first film, Malcolm Turner (Martin Lawrence) has been assigned a desk job in public relations as an Federal Bureau of Investigation agent, since he wants to live with his wife, Sherry Pierce (Nia Long), during her delivery for the couple's new baby boy. Meanwhile, an incident occurs in Orange County, California, where Malcolm's old friend, Doug Hudson (Kirk B.R. Woller), has been killed while he was going undercover.
