A taut, paranoid thriller about a corrupt cop and a prostitute witness hunted across the desert by organized crime and compromised authorities, built on relentless action and mounting dread.
Phoenix cop Ben Shockley is well on his way to becoming a derelict when he is assigned to transport a witness from Las Vegas. The witness turns out to be a belligerent prostitute with mob ties—and incriminating information regarding a high-ranking official.
