Patrick Swayze stars Truman Gates, a tough city cop transplanted from the backwoods of the Appalachians to the hard streets of urban Chicago. When Truman's younger brother is murdered by gangsters from a very different "family," the inevitable clash of the two clans - one from the country, the other from the city - results in this explosive drama of violence and retribution.
