With his reckless and arrogant style of reporting, John McNamara (Michael Rooker - Cliffhanger, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, The 6th Day) has made one too many enemies as a reporter for tabloid newspaper the Metro Examiner. When a fellow reporter turns up missing, McNamara is thrust into a treacherous investigation that exposes a powerful force of citywide corruption led by the president of a construction company (Judge Reinhold - Beverly Hills Cop, Ruthless People, The Santa Clause) and involving his own father (Robert Culp - The Pelican Brief, Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, Spy Hard), a judge with an impeccable reputation. But as he digs deeper, he follows a twisted road of lies and deception which leads him to a deadly game where someone wants to silence his investigation...forever.
