Description

"Okay. I'm gonna beat you up a little now because that's going to make me feel better there, and then we can get back to this nice talk." 01:00 am on a steamy summer night. A grubby police office in dowtown New York City. Two cops and two crooks battle with wits and fists to uncover the truth about a murder. Sean is back from Vietnam and unable to find his way. Jimmy has the look of a choir boy, but the attitude of a punk. Jack can't get through the shift without a fix. And Kelly's daughter is on the end of the phone with a gun to her temple.
