Chicago policeman Terry McCain is determined to put away mobster Sal DiMarco, who always gets acquitted on technicalities. While monitoring a drug sale, a shootout ensues, and one of Terry's fellow officers gets away with $3 million of Sal's money. Suspecting Terry took the cash, the mobster sends his men to kill Terry's brother, Dylan, and partner, Frankie Hawkins. Furious, Terry sets out to take his revenge by any means necessary.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Thomas Ian Griffith wrote the screenplay himself after getting frustrated with Karate Kid III typecasting—this was his 'serious action hero' bid.
This film exemplifies the 1992-1994 direct-to-video action boom where theatrical stars did grimy Chicago cop thrillers between bigger gigs.
