A gritty 1980s action-thriller about an undercover cop and a Native American avenger forced into an uneasy alliance to recover a sacred artifact and confront corruption and loss.

While investigating police corruption in his department, undercover cop Buster McHenry is forced to participate in a heist, leading to innocent casualties and the theft of an ancient Lakota tribal spear.
