Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, and Mykelti Williamson star in director Raul Sanchez Inglis's thriller about a once-respected policeman whose team is targeted for death after a high-profile drug deal goes horribly awry. Detective Max Walker (Madsen) used to be the best cop on the beat, but ever since he lost his wife, things just haven't been the same. These days Walker is like a time bomb just looking for a reason to explode, and when a highly organized drug sting goes horribly awry he may have finally found it. Walker and his team uncovered a large haul of heroin, and were getting ready to strike when everything fell apart. When the smoke finally cleared on the crime scene, several people were dead and one gang member had gotten away. Now, with the harsh glare of the media spotlight bearing down from above, the officers involved in the bust begin to fall prey to a mysterious killer. Bewildered at the thought of who may be responsible for the slaughter of his team but left with precious few leads, Walker asks his partner Salt (Hannah) to look into the killings. Now, as the drugs from the bust go missing and the police begin to suspect that the killer may walk among them, friend will turn against friend until there's only one man left standing.
