The story

For the past four years, veteran San Francisco Police Inspector Jack Cates has been after a drug kingpin who calls himself the "Ice Man." At the Hunter's Point Raceway, Jack confronts Tyrone Burroughs and Arthur Brock. Jack kills Brock in a shootout, while Burroughs escapes. Despite killing Brock in self-defense, Jack is now under investigation, because Brock's gun can't be found at the scene.
