Veteran Detective Harry Thornton is wrecked after his suspension from service 6years ago owing to a conspiracy cooked up about his connection with a drug dealer by one of his ex-colleague Juan Pablo. Once a gem of an officer with numerous accolades and his reputation of being the sharpest minds among his colleagues, he is now turned a total drunkard. He’s chronically ill with multiple diseases and he can’t quite quit his drinking habit. There is a large amount of debt he has to repay and he also wants to save some money for his only daughter Sandra who is in college before he dies. He is so desperate that he is ready to kill anyone to make some money.
One day at the bar a man in his late 30s meets him and joins with him for the drinks.
Harry speaks his heart out about his life and tells the gentleman how he got ended up being a loser and all the vicious tricks Juan played on him.
The young man identifies himself to be James Parker and agrees to help. He agrees to pay Harry more money than needed to repay all his debts and tells him that they are confronting a common enemy, Juan Pablo. He tells his story to Harry and tells him why he wants to take revenge on Juan by killing him but he wants to come out clean. What he wants from Harry is to use his once impeccable acumen to reverse engineer a perfect murder with no evidences left. Upon Harry’s resistance to agree to James’ plan the young man offers him more money after poking his already lost self-respect and persuading him repeatedly to thinking that reputation has no value unless it is coupled with money. They agree to meet up one day and chalk out a perfect murder plan.
Once the plot for Juan’s murder is completed and just as Harry was expecting his reward, James uses the plot against Harry instead and kills him by the same plan that he worked out. After eliminating the only other person who knew the plan, James applies the same plot on Juan and kills him after several failed attempts. Part of the plot was to misguide the investigation towards a drug dealer Gregor Mendes who is already under police scrutiny for several other homicides and drug deals. Gregor has several other charges against him - enough to guarantee a life term for him in jail, and doesn’t really care an additional charge. However, a rookie criminal lawyer Paul Freidrich who does this as an internship assignment from his senior lawyer takes up Gregor’s case knowing that he will lose the case. Gregor however has had enough in the past and tries to help Paul in his career with his criminal brain. Although, Gregor ends up in the jail for what he deserves, Paul comes out successful in solving the mystery around the murder of the two policemen.
