Sinopse
When political thugs murder an opponent's volunteer and also kill a cop, chief inspector Verjeat believes the politician who hired them is as guilty as the murderous goon. Verjeat's pursuit of the councilman, Lardatte, gets him a warning from his superiors. When he embarrasses Lardatte while disarming a hostage (the dead volunteer's father), Verjeat is told he's being transferred within a week. He speeds up his hunt for the goon and, with Lefévre, one of his young detectives, he engineers a complicated scheme to buy more time before the transfer. How should Verjeat play out his values of honor and duty?

Shane Tanner (Johnathon Schaech) é um agente da DEA disfarçado que sabe o que faz. Ele já afastou a sua cota de traficantes da sociedade, mas ainda não fez nenhuma grande prisão.

É considerado também o local primordial para o tráfico de drogas – e um traficante local, Wild Bill (Jake Busey), está determinado a fazer do bar seu escritório de qualquer jeito. Mas quando Shane assume o Pelican no lugar de seu tio que foi espancado, ele está a ponto de descobrir que este ringue é maior e mais mortal do que ele havia imaginado. Com a ajuda de uma estonteante loura (Ellen Hollman) e o suporte do DEA, Shane está disposto a realizar a maior prisão de sua carreira e utilizar uma dose letal de vingança no caminho.
