Tom Van Allen has witnessed the murder of his wife without being able to step in. For months, he has searched for the murderers and, finally, he's found them : narcotics agents Morgan and Garcetti. In order to get closer to them, Van Allen blends in the Los Angeles drugs environment and soon becomes a snitch working for these agents.

While he's waiting for the right moment to take revenge on Morgan and Garcetti, he gets closer to the character -Danny Parker, a methedrine addict- he has chosen to become in the middle of the L.A. underground life. Now Van Allen/Parker has found a way to catch the two policemen by organizing a deal between the sadistic Pooh-Bear and a Chinese drug dealer who'll be infact an underover F.B.I. agent.
