Two men kill an MP at the Presidio base during a break-in. This leads to a wild chase in San Francisco killing two cops. Police detective Jay Austin (Mark Harmon) is assigned the case. He is forced to deal with MP Lieutenant Colonel Alan Caldwell (Sean Connery). Years before, Caldwell was his commanding officer. He arrested Colonel Paul Lawrence (Dana Gladstone) but Caldwell wouldn't back him. He quited over the incident. Lawrence is again a suspect in the new case. Austin and Caldwell's relationship gets even worst when Austin starts dating Caldwell's daughter Donna (Meg Ryan).
Before Mark Harmon made it on NCIS, he played a variety of roles including cops like this one. This seems set for a great thriller pairing him with a veteran like Connery. Yet this is less than that. Some of it is the fact that their characters don't get along. This is no buddy cop drama. The investigation is forgettable. Meg Ryan is doing a sex kitten thing. Everything is functional but not much more. Nobody is really excelling in this one.
