Plot

Seasoned undercover narcotics police officer Jim Raynor (Patric) must choose a new partner for his next assignment. He chooses the "wet-behind-the-ears" Kristen Cates (Jennifer Jason Leigh). Together they are looking to bring down the so-far untouchable Gaines (Gregg Allman).

As they get deeper and deeper undercover, they become addicted to the same heroin they're trying to keep off the street. They also fall in love, further complicating their assignment. Lacking real evidence, they are forced to create false evidence in order to get a conviction.
