New York police detective Keith Frazier is a tough, street-smart cop fighting for a promotion while trying to live down accusations of misconduct connected to his last case. When he and his partner, Bill Mitchell, are despatched to the scene of an in-progress bank robbery and hostage crisis, Miller must face off against a well-educated criminal masterminding a concisely plotted operation. As negotiations grow more strained, a power broker with mysterious ties and a hidden agenda becomes involved in the crisis, injecting even more instability into an already volatile situation. Miller slowly begins to realise that in this ultimate game of cat-and-mouse, rules are arbitrary, all roles are up for grabs and the black-and-white of right and wrong has blurred to a shadowy landscape of grey.
