Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Stacie Randall plays Harley, a Special Forces agent-turned-investigator, who arrives on the scene of an apparent mob hit to help the local police. In actuality, she's hunting down Francis Lydell, her former C.O. and lover, who shot her in the head when she turned down his offer to become part of the freelance assassination squad he was forming. Ignoring the need for surgery to remove the bullet fragment which still causes her to have occasional bouts of disorientation, she continues her quest to bring down Lydell before he has the chance to kill a Mafia informant being held at the police station. Written by Chris Holland

“Once you cross this special agent, you've crossed the line.”

First Movie: A determined policeman attempts to take down a cunning mobster, who has corrupted his colleagues. Despite discovering his own brother's collaboration with the gangster, the cop gathers evidence but is killed by his corrupt partner, who then burns the files. Second Movie: A special agent-turned-investigator masquerades as a policeman to protect a Mafia informant. After gaining trust but arousing suspicion, he confronts assassins sent by the informant's former lover.
