When a drug bust led by policeman John Sato (Wilson, Bloodfist series) goes wrong and costs the life of a fellow officer (Cynthia Rothrock, Above the Law), he's driven from the force. Desperate, he accepts work from a small-time gangster (Chris Penn, Reservoir Dogs) and develops a bond with him. As a new underground deal goes down, he must decide where his priorities lie and whether he is a cop or a crook.
