When prodigal son Billy Turner (
Judd Nelson) returns to his Florida home town, he's caught in a brawl and thrown in jail. He tells the guards to call his father, the mayor, who will have him released; however, he soon discovers his father has been killed. After Turner finally gets out of jail, he starts to hunt down his father's murderer, with the eventual help of Annie Rayford (
Ally Sheedy) and her brother Joey (
David Caruso). Their nemesis is the nasty crime boss Perry Kerch (
Scott Wilson) and his henchmen, though the slow-witted police chief (
Paul Winfield) is not much help, either. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
