While trying to capture drug lord "The Iceman," policeman Jack Cates confronts two criminals and kills one of them in self-defense. The head of internal affairs wants to prosecute Jack since there was no weapon found on the victim. In order to prove his innocence, Jack rescues ex-convict Reggie Hammond from a hit ordered by The Iceman. Reggie, who knows the real identity of the criminal, may be Jack's last hope.
