Premise
Small town Cop Michael Savion gets stone-walled by big city detectives led by Hardwick when he asks them to investigate his younger brother's death. After his brother's death he swears vengeance in a flashback where he fires his gun in the rain over his dead body. His brother David, a gangster, was murdered by members of his own gang for having wanted to quit the gang lifestyle in order to marry Gloria, and for being suspected of 'ratting' out his gang's activities. Savion takes off his badge and goes vigilante to seek justice for the death of his brother, and crosses paths with Arturo, the leader of an international ring involved in human trafficking.Cast

Production

As an unusual method of "clearing his head" on set after "flubbing" an occasional line of dialog, Val Kilmer would briefly break into dog-like barks and howls.
