New York police detective John Shaft arrests Walter Wade Jr. for a racially motivated slaying. But the only eyewitness disappears, and Wade jumps bail for Switzerland. Two years later Wade returns to face trial, confident his money and influence will get him acquitted -- especially since he's paid a drug kingpin to kill the witness.
A wealthy killer returns to New York to manipulate the legal system, but he hasn't accounted for a relentless detective with nothing to lose. This stylish urban thriller pits old-school street grit against polished corporate corruption in a race to find a vanished witness.
