A former biker, Jon Baker (Dax Shepard) and an FBI undercover agent, Frank "Ponch" Poncherello, joins the California Highway Patrol for different reasons. Jon aims to make things right in his life especially his marriage while Ponch is investigating on an anomaly inside the CHP. As they both try to focus on their goals, they clash rather than unite when they were partnered for duty and to catch the bad guys. The Catholic News Service of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops classifies Chips as “O”, morally offensive. Topics for discussion include failed marriages, Highway Patrol, second chances, sex addiction, friendship, perseverance at work, homosexuality, homophobia, masturbation, sex-objectification of women, etc.
