About

Veteran cop Nick Pulovski is used to playing musical partners; many of the partners he's had in the past have died on the job, and often as a result of Nick's risky tactics. But the rookie who's been assigned to help Nick bust a carjacking ring is almost as hotheaded as he is … and when Nick gets kidnapped, his newbie partner is his only hope.
Sun-drenched Los Angeles streets provide a hazy, neon backdrop for this tense clash between a cynical veteran and a reckless newcomer. When a kidnapping flips the script, the seasoned cop must rely on his hotheaded protégé to navigate a deadly urban maze.
