Storyline

Timothy James 'TJ' Williams (David Wilson) is a streetwise detective whose checkered career, family life and long standing friendship with the would-be mayor, police chief Hamilton Markham (Tom Sizemore), spins out of control and teeters on the brink of catastrophe as a result of a bust gone bad. While his life begins to crumble, his fast fading future is bartered for political gain by his former best friend and boss, a mayor with her eye on a Senate seat (Rebecca De Mornay) and an ambitious, activist 'man-of-the-cloth,' the Rev. Alonso Sparks (Richard Roundtree). The political machinery, geared to grind up Williams as a bad cop, has a wrench tossed into the works by the detective, who with the help of his partner, Angel Santangelo (Jaime Santana), gets back on the job to reclaim his reputation and his dignity in spite of their worst efforts.

A Brilliantly Crafted Work of Cinema

An intensely written drama bringing to life a top cop, whose days on the force are coming to an end, but instead of going out in a blaze of glory, he goes out with a bang, a mistake that tears his world down. The cruel hands of tragedy grip him tight, and the web of lies, lust, and corruption spin further and further into conspiracy. And he is hung out to dry, begging for forgiveness, but tears for justice don't fall for him, another lost soul struggling to remain alive. But in his darkest hour does he find the light of hope, the soft velvet of redemption, but has he run out of time? And will his family pay for his mistake? In a brilliantly crafted work of cinema are we collared by a hero conflicted and mesmerizing, whose last days on the force end not in a blaze of glory but with a BANG.
