A kinetic buddy-cop thriller that balances dark action and social critique about corruption and class privilege with comedic irreverence and genuine camaraderie.

When an old collaborator gets severely injured, a veteran policeman tries to figure out the way to bring to justice the ultimately suspected aggressor, a spoiled young executive, heir to a mega corporation, who believes he is above the law.
