Plot summary
Frank Divinci and Jake Rodriguez are vice squad detectives who stage a drug deal at a motel with Lionel Hudd and shoot him. They take his money and return the cocaine and the gun to the evidence room. Then the dead man's partner, Richard Simms, arrives at the precinct, and the two realize they killed a deep cover DEA agent. Needing someone to take the blame, they trick a homeless drunk named Joe Doe into confessing. They also need a witness, so Divinci presses Cynthia Webb, a stripper he has been seeing behind his wife's back, to identify Joe in a police lineup.
