Charlie Carr is a ruthless T-man and hard nosed detective in the gutsy, no-nonesense tradition of Hammett and Chandler. Carr is hot on the trail of two thugs who have gunned down a young under cover agent - a torturous trail that will lead from the smoke-filled hangouts of sordid Chinatown, to a brutal blood drenched confrontation in a penthouse overlooing the streets of LA's seamy underworld.
