Fritz Brown (Michael Rooker) is a hard-boiled private detective whose previous career as a cop was cut short because of his drinking. His latest case comes from Freddie "Fat Dog" Baker (William Sasso), a golf caddy who's concerned about his teenage sister, Jane (Selma Blair), who has taken up with a much older tycoon. Over the course of his investigation, Brown runs afoul of underworld thugs, corrupt police and, ultimately, the Internal Affairs officer who got him kicked off the force.
