Chris O'Brien, devoted Catholic and rookie cop with LAPD, is assigned to partner with the hard-edged, street-smart Nora Hugosian. A serial killer is loose, and all the victims are low-life guys with whom Nora has dealt, so when the tire tracks of a police car are found at a murder scene, she's the prime suspect of internal-affairs investigator Simon Hertzel. Chris and Nora start an affair, but he has suspicions about her. Should he start his own investigation, which would be an act of betrayal, or trust her as his partner and lover? When a witness IDs Nora's former partner, Michael Clemence, as the killer, Nora gives Mike an alibi, and things get complicated.
