It stars Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jason Patric as two cops in the 1970s who go in too deep on a case: a narcotics detective and his inexperienced partner go after an elusive drug dealer.

Dodd (Sam Elliott) to choose a partner from a group of recent police academy graduates for his undercover investigation, which has been ongoing for two years.
