When his confidential informant is murdered, a veteran detective finds himself in a conspiracy involving stolen drugs and elusive players willing to kill to protect their secrets.

SYNOPSIS:

Think Training Day meets L.A Confidential, with shades of The Departed’s intricate underworld and John Wick’s stylized intensity in its character-driven approach to violence and crime dynamics.

Chicago Homicide Detective Ethan Raines is thrust into a web of crime, corruption, and betrayal as he investigates the murder of a confidential informant, Yasmin Fox, a troubled exotic dancer. The investigation begins with Yasmin’s suspicious death staged as an overdose, but Raines' instincts lead him to uncover a deeper conspiracy. Yasmin’s possession of uncut heroin ties her to a string of violent robberies targeting drug cartels, carried out by military-trained operatives.

While navigating obstacles from corrupt colleagues and bureaucratic red tape, Raines uncovers connections between Yasmin's death, her shadowy clientele, and the drug trade’s larger criminal ecosystem. The detective’s relentless pursuit of justice puts him at odds with his department, especially with his superior, Captain Parsons, who pressures him to drop the case. Ethan’s personal ties, including a complicated relationship with his ex-girlfriend Vickie Bryant, add layers of emotional depth and vulnerability to his otherwise steely resolve.

Ethan’s investigation grows perilous as he follows leads into dangerous territory, confronting gang leaders, corrupt law enforcement, and hidden players in Chicago's underworld. With every twist, he uncovers layers of moral ambiguity and the thin line between law and criminality. As the stakes escalate, Ethan must rely on his instincts, martial skills, and connections to survive, culminating in a violent confrontation that threatens to expose the truth—or bury it forever.
