What is evidence? Who is innocent? Can justice really prevail in a city where the law is just another commodity betrayal is business as usual and paranoia is mental health? Patrick "Patty" Shapiro is about as down on his luck as a guy can get. A former NYPD cop, he's been booted off the force in disgrace because of a corruption scandal. Patty may not be crooked, but he turned a blind eye to his brothers in blue who were. Now, a year later, he's broke and about to be kicked out onto the street, so when a former partner approaches him with a job offer, he grabs it. All he has to do is bust into a hotel room and take sleazy pictures for a divorce case. Problem is, when Patty steps into the room he finds a beautiful blond doll with her throat cut . . . and the frame for her murder fits Patty Shapiro perfectly.
