Williams (Wayne Crawford), a grizzled veteran cop, has always refused to polish the right people's boots, and he's paid the price. Now pushing forty, he's still on the lowest rung of the police department. To make matters worse, his new partner is a smug young cop who thinks the world owes him a living. When Williams and his cocky partner are assigned what appears to be another routine investigation, they stumble onto a huge, international car smuggling ring, an extraordinary operation between the U.S. and the Orient run by the ruthless Crime Lords out of Hong Kong.
