Detective Sergeant Lloyd Hopkins is the most brilliant homicide
detective in the Los Angeles Police Department and one of its most
troubled. In his obsessive mission to protect the innocent, there is no
line he won't cross. Estranged from his wife and daughters and on the
verge of being drummed out of the department for his transgressions,
Hopkins is assigned to investigate a series of bloody bank robberies. As
the violence escalates and the case becomes ever more vicious, Hopkins
will be forced to cross the line once again to stop a maniac on a murder
binge.
