Bill, an honest cop, is devastated when his brother, also a police officer, is killed while on duty. The police department seems indifferent to his brother's death and Bill becomes disillusioned, feeling that justice has not been served.

Determined to bring his brother's killer to justice, Bill sets out on a dangerous mission to track down the culprit himself. He becomes a vigilante cop, taking the law into his own hands and embarking on a spree of violent revenge.
