Harrison Ford stars as Joe Gavilan, a financially strapped Hollywood homicide detective who moonlights as a real estate broker. He is partnered with KC Calden (Hartnett), a much younger officer who teaches yoga on the side and wants to be an actor. The duo are assigned to investigate the murders of four men, members of a rap group who were gunned down in a nightclub.

In addition, they must deal with an unscrupulous Internal Affairs detective (Greenwood) who has a personal grudge against Gavilan and is eager to frame him with phony charges.
