Circle of Killers
During a drug deal, two men shoot and kill each other in a parking garage over an attaché containing twoâ€"million dollars. Aram, an indie filmmaker seeking a loan for his next project, witnesses the drama, sees no one else around, grabs the money and drives off.
The younger of the two men killed is a super narc. His uncle, Larry Pierce, "a cop's cop", is a thirtyâ€"twoâ€"year veteran of the LAPD. Larry's desire to retire and enjoy his family is now ruined because of his nephew's dastardly act. Still, Larry resolves to clear his nephew's name, not knowing that the entire drug deal and shooting is captured on tape by a devious electronic whiz within the department.
Aram throws an orgy, inviting his highâ€"class "regular". Cunning as she is gorgeous, she drugs Aram and takes the attaché. Chaos reigns supreme, with one death following the next. Larry finds out about the tape and the source; using his "net" he hopes to at least cast doubt on his nephew's degree of guilt and point the finger at a few others within the department. From all indications, however, he's aware that he may pay the ultimate price.
