Vicki Allegretti, a U.S. Attorney, teams up with Reheema Bristow, a glamorous African-American woman who has been wrongly accused of a crime, to expose an ever widening conspiracy of cocaine dealing and violence.

Director Ted Allegretti evidently decided to attack the deadliness of the situation and language in the first act with nothing more nor less than speed.
