The tenuous alliance between corrupt cops and the mob disintegrates over the course of three days. The action zigzags between a torture session at a freeway construction site where the brother of a notorious kingpin is slowly buried alive by a bad cop gone worse, and flashbacks to the twisted events of the prior days. Chris Penn, Jeffrey Wright, Sherilyn Fenn and Henry Czerny lead the ensemble cast in director Adrian Pasdar's neo-noir thriller.
