Crime-scene photographer Johnny Scardino (Peter Gallagher) has become so emotionally detached from his work that he doesn't mind dabbling in blackmail on the side, acting as a hired lensman to catch high-rolling businessmen with their pants down. But when a few familiar faces turn up dead at Johnny's day job, he fears that he may be next. The strong supporting cast includes Jack Black, Frances McDormand and John Lithgow.
