Police officer John Trace (Stephen Baldwin) is not in an enviable situation. As his third on-the-job shooting is being investigated, his fellow officers discover that the victim, a drug dealer, was not armed when he was shot down. A senior detective advises him how he can get out of this predicament: if Trace joins the Force's Select Unit Armed Response, the investigating officers will arrange to plant a gun on the drug dealer's body. Trace soon learns that the Select Unit is grueling, ruthless and almost always fatal. Trace takes the deal and finds himself fighting in an underworld that takes no prisoners. Tensions run high when the Select Unit believes that Trace is an underworld informant, and he soon finds himself fighting for his own survival.

The SCAR unit, led by Lt. Devon (Chazz Palminteri), uses ruthless and corrupt tactics to eliminate dangerous criminals. But it's only a matter of time before new recruit John Trace (Stephen Baldwin) discovers the group's cold-blooded intentions. He protests by fleeing with Candy (Tia Carrere), the nightclub singer and prostitute he saved in a deadly raid of a mobster's house. Now, the pair are on the run as targets of the cops and the mob.

In this contemporary American adaptation of the 1978 outrageous French farce La Cage Aux Folles, the story centers on the life of a middle-aged, flamboyant gay couple...Armand and Albert...in the eclectic community of South Beach, Florida, who have raised a straight son. The son announces his engagement to the daughter of a right-wing U.S. senator, and wants to bring his fiancee and her ultraconservative parents home to meet his family for the first time. What choice is there but to accept his decision with love! So Armand and Albert must pretend to be very straight by attempting to play out the roles of your typical heterosexual "husband" and "wife"! Easier said than done...

A gay cabaret owner and his drag queen companion agree to put up a false straight front so that their son can introduce them to his fianc 's right-wing moralistic parents.
