Synopsis: All he wanted to do was go home and
get a drink. But at 8:02 a.m., hungover NYPD detective Jack Mosley is
assigned a seemingly simple task. Petty criminal Eddie Bunker is set to
testify before a grand jury at 10:00 a.m. and needs to be taken from
lock-up to the courthouse, 16 blocks away. Broken down, out of shape,
with a bad leg and a serious drinking problem, Jack’s role on the force
is simple--clock in, clock out and stay out of trouble in between. He’s
in no mood to deal with a punk who’s been in and out of jail for more
than half his life. But beneath the punk in Eddie lies a man committed
to turning his life around and constantly searching for "signs” that
will lead him to a brighter future. In Eddie Jack sees only a pathetic
rat who was offered a sweet deal. When Jack shoves Eddie into the back
of his car and pulls out into the morning New York city rush hour, he
doesn’t notice the van looming behind them. His head throbbing, and
Eddie’s flair for conversation only making it worse, Jack stops off at
the local liquor store to pick up some breakfast. As Eddie waits inside
the locked car, fuming at getting stuck with Jack as his escort, he’s
suddenly faced with a much bigger problem--a loaded gun pointed at his
head. Jack emerges just in time to prevent Eddie’s execution, killing
one assassin and narrowly escaping a second. When Jack calls for backup,
homicide detective Frank Nugent and his team are first to arrive at the
scene. Eddie suddenly goes pale--one of the detectives on Nugent’s team
is the man he is supposed to testify against. In an instant, Jack’s
quickie trip downtown turns into the nightmare of a lifetime: the
criminals that want Eddie dead are actually cops. There’s a history
between Jack and Nugent--a dark history that Jack has been desperately
trying to forget. And as Nugent is quick to point out to his old friend,
Eddie’s testimony threatens to bring them all down. Nugent offers to
stage a mock hostage situation in which Eddie is killed and Jack does
what he does best--walk away. But this time, Jack has been pushed too
far and seizes his last opportunity to do the right thing. A split
second before Nugent’s team can execute Eddie, Jack sets in motion a
chain of events that will irrevocably impact all of their lives.
Battling against time and the corrupt cops gaining on their every move,
Jack and Eddie fight their way to the courthouse block by gut-wrenching
block.
