A high-octane buddy-cop thriller built on the friction between a reckless veteran and his impulsive rookie partner, driven by action and the tension of their forced partnership.

Veteran cop Nick Pulovski is used to playing musical partners; many of the partners he's had in the past have died on the job, and often as a result of Nick's risky tactics. But the rookie who's been assigned to help Nick bust a carjacking ring is almost as hotheaded as he is … and when Nick gets kidnapped, his newbie partner is his only hope.
