A gritty crime thriller centered on the cat-and-mouse pursuit between a relentless cop and a skilled criminal, culminating in violent confrontation on L.A.'s streets.

The tale of two skilled professionals--one a cop, the other a criminal--who aren't as different as they think. Vincent Hanna is an intense cop on the trail of ruthless armed robber Patrick McLaren. After a botched heist, the two men confront each via a full scale battle on the seedy streets of Los Angeles.
