Detectives Thomas Cowan (Robert De Niro) and David Fisk (Al Pacino), 30-year veterans of the NYPD, must investigate the murder of a notorious pimp. The crime resembles that of a case they solved many years before. As the body count rises, Cowan and Fisk realize that they are dealing with a vigilante who takes criminals off the street permanently when the police cannot. The similarities between the past and present crimes leads the detectives to wonder if they put the wrong man behind bars.
