After a spell away from the police force, when a drugs bust went wrong, Detroit undercover cop Nick Tellis (Jason Patric) is persuaded back to help uncover the murderers of a fellow officer. He is teamed up with the dead officer's partner, Henry Oak (Ray Liotta), who seems to work on his own violent agenda. As the duo become more involved in the complex trail to the murderers, they find their lives are being ruled by the crime; Tellis begins to ignore his wife and newborn baby, and Oak becomes even more volatile.
