Eighteen months
after the ill-fated chase that ends tragically with the death
of a baby, undercover cop Nick Tellis (Jason Patric) is hitting
bottom. He is on probation and barely surviving on his small
stipend. His wife is not eager for him to return to the force,
but when an undercover cop is killed in the line of duty, he
is summoned onto the case because of his invaluable understanding
of the street. Teamed with Lt. Harry Oak (Ray Liotta), the slain
cop's partner known for his unconventional administration of
justice, Tellis slips into old patterns as the underworld he
knows too well ultimately sucks him in.
