Hooker's investigation into a series of grisly murders by a pair of religious crazies is accompanied by Sergeant Leigh Stockwell, a close, old friend, whom is somewhat his protégé. But Stacy becomes suspicious that Leigh is using cocaine, an addiction which not only jeopardizes the case and Leigh's job, but also Hooker's life.

Hooker tries to prove Corrigan innocent of shooting a suspect with a gun stolen from a police property room.
