Chuck Norris proves he has nine lives and an alter ego in this hard-hitting thriller set in the dark underworld of warring mobs in the Pacific Northwest and Canada. Good cop Cliff Garrett (Norris) is betrayed and left for dead by his crooked partner (Michael Parks). Miraculously he survives - and thunderously he'll have his revenge. Going undercover as a cold-as-ice, precision hitman for hire by the mob, he earns the reputation and trust needed to infiltrate the city's murderous, drug-dealing criminal infrastructure. It's all prelude to bringing it all down - in unmistakably lean, mean Norris style.
