Detective Mike Santini’s career takes a nosedive when his partner is caught accepting a bribe, leading to suspicions of Santini’s involvement. Consequently, he is reassigned to uniform duty for a five-year period. While enjoying a vacation with his wife and children, Santini stumbles upon a potentially career-reviving opportunity. He spots Eddie Meyers, a crucial witness in a money-laundering case, who has been in hiding in the Bahamas.
