Dopo la morte di sua moglie, la vita del poliziotto Tom Ludlow è entrata in crisi. A dargli uno scossone è uno scandalo all'interno del dipartimento di polizia di Los Angeles nel quale resta coinvolto, che lo vedrebbe implicato nell'omicidio di un collega. A Tom non resta che andare contro la cultura della polizia, quella in cui ha sempre creduto, per provare la sua innocenza.
