The word "will" here is used as a noun and refers to someone's choice or desire. So the expression "against our will" means that they were forced into doing something without having a choice. Here, Nick is talking about how he and Judy were kidnapped and taken to Mr. Big's without their permission. Here are some other examples of this expression: Ex: I was forced to sign the contract against my will. Ex: Her parents made her get married against her will.
