One day, a person hits Dave’s car by mistake, so he beats him up very brutally and this gets captured in the video footage. That created trouble for the Los Angeles Police Department, and the assistant district attorney (Weaver) urged Dave to resign simply. He refuses and consults a lawyer called Linda (Wright). He meets with his ex-colleague officer, Hartshorn (Beatty), and discuss’ several things related to the job and their personal life. He even asked him for some cash. For that, his friend tips him off to a high stakes card game happening later that night in the crystal market.
