A successful day trader has what appears is the perfect life, but a gambling addiction that has plagued him for years has him on the run, and now he risks losing it all.

Ryder Hart (Academy Award-nominee Peter Weller - "RoboCop," "RoboCop 2") is a disgraced ex-cop who is now a low-rent private investigator. His estranged wife, Anita (Alexandra Paul "Christine," "American Flyers"), runs the Sunset Grill and is now involved with Jeff (Michael Anderson Jr. "The Greatest Story Ever Told," "Logans Run") a police detective who used to work with Ryder. When Anita is found brutally murdered, Ryder and Jeff team up to find her killer. The case appears to be related to an immigrant who worked at the Sunset Grill and an old friend of Ryder's named Guillermo. During their investigation, Ryder and Jeff meet Harrison Shelgrove (Emmy Award-nominee and Golden Globe-winner Stacy Keach -"American History X," "Esacape from LA"), a wealthy industrialist who owns a gun club. Meanwhile, Loren (Golden Globe-winner Lori Singer - "Footloose," "Warlock"), an employee at the club, seems to take an unusual amount of interest in Ryder. As Ryder gets closer to the truth, he begins to suspect that a crooked INS agent, Stockton, may know something about the case. What began as a search for the murderer of his wife leads Ryder into a mystery involving illegal immigrants in Los Angeles.
