The movie tells the story of suspended undercover narcotics officer, Nick Tellis and Henry Oak, the slain officer’s partner, as they search for the murderer of an undercover police officer. As Tellis and Oak unravel the case, they engage in unethical behavior and uncover dark secrets that will challenge their fragile relationship.
