synopsis
Retired Boston policeman Pally (Kiefer Sutherland) finds himself mired in murder, mobsters, and misfired romance when he well-meaningly agrees to help his stepbrother, Ray (Anthony LaPaglia), finance a long-shot racehorse. A mob kingpin (Daniel Benzali) has his eyes on the nag as well, and he exploits a debt by a lowlife jockey (Lothaire Bluteau) to take control of the horse. Naturally, it all comes down to the Big Race, and it seems no matter where the horse finishes, Pally's going to be a loser.
