Plot
Jack Lynch (Clayton Rohner) is an investigative reporter who comes into possession of a ledger detailing the criminal activities of two corrupt narcotics detectives, Ray Dillon (Tim Daly) and Phil Gallo (Judd Nelson). While pursuing the story, Jack is contacted by a woman named Caroline, who promises to provide further evidence. However, before they can meet, Caroline is killed in a suspicious car accident. As Jack investigates Caroline's death, he enters into a volatile affair with Victoria (Mia Sara), a woman who claims to be a friend of the victim but is actually Ray Dillon’s wife. The situation escalates when Jack becomes entangled with Susan Prince (Virginia Madsen), a high-level drug dealer who is also being targeted by the corrupt officers. Jack must navigate a dangerous web of betrayal and double-crosses to expose the detectives and survive the deadly conflict between the police and the criminal underworld.
