Detective Frank Terranova, an introspective cop, who battles his own demons inside as well as those in the streets of Manhattan. An unusual murder case takes him on an international roller coaster ride of drug dealers, corporate criminals, terrorists and fanatics, tied together by a strange substance that leaves the user smiling, but often dead. Love, like it usually does, complicates everything, and Frank will need a strong sense of values and a lot of ammunition for his gun.
