The story takes place in Los Angeles in 1999. Dave (Woody Harrelson) is a veteran who participated in the Vietnam War. After retiring, he became a policeman. Dave has his own sense of right and wrong and justice. He likes to deal with those lawbreakers in his own way. Although these methods are very bloody and violent, Dave firmly believes that his actions are justified. Dave has been married twice, and his two ex-wives Catherine (Anne Heche) and Barbara (Cynthia Nixon) are sisters. When Dave discovered that the atmosphere of corruption had already permeated the entire police station, he also realized that his life had come to a very difficult situation, and the dark past also came back. Exhausted Dave didn't know what to do next.
