Miami police detective Sonny Crockett reluctantly partners up with fresh faced New York-bred newcomer Ricardo Tubbs.

While investigating a porn baron, Crockett and Tubbs become sceptical of rumours the undercover FBI agent has betrayed their operation.

Crockett and Tubbs must enlist an unreliable petty thief to help bust a Jamaican drug operation ran by a team of drug rip-off artists.

Tubbs works to save Crockett and family from falling victim to an Argentine assassin hired by drug boss Calderone.

While on the trail of Calderone in Bimini, Tubbs falls in love with a woman who forces him to consider his loyalties.

Crockett attempts to help an old flame free herself from a racketeer, but is then framed for taking bribes.
