Jimmy Kilmartin (David Caruso) is attempting to distance himself from his shady past. When his cousin, Ronny (Michael Rapaport), shows up at his door begging for help with one more heist, Jimmy agrees to participate against his better judgment. Things go sour when a detective is shot, and Jimmy is left to take the fall. As Jimmy's hopes for a normal life with his wife (Helen Hunt) and daughter fade, he becomes a pawn of the police in their attempts to bring down a psychotic gangster named Little Junior (Nicolas Cage).
