Logan McQueen (Burt Reynolds) keeps a low profile as a private detective, trying to outrun his past as a former police officer and convicted felon. He is forced to show his face to the world at large, however, when a group of mentally disturbed homeless people decide that taking hostages is the best way to defend the abandoned hotel that they've claimed as their own. They demand that Logan's sometime partner, the often drunk Charlie Duffy be their only negotiating contact and Charlie agrees, only under the condition that he bring his partner along as well. Now the two men must put the past behind them if they want to save their friendship, and the hostages' lives.
