Detective Shane Scully is back in the good graces of the
department, hailed as a hero after bringing down a deadly
gang of rogue cops in The Viking Funeral. At a
glamorous Hollywood party with his new wife, Alexa, Shane
overhears a famous producer make a suspicious remark about
the strange deaths of his two ex-wives. Is he serious or
merely joking around with his coterie of hangers-on? This
becomes more than just police business, because the party
is to celebrate the engagement of the producer to Alexa's
closest friend.
Against his wife's wishes, Shane begins to look into this
heavy-hitter's past. At the same time, he becomes aware of
a high-profile wiseguy's attempt to control Hollywood's
unions. He initiates an elaborate and expensive sting
operation, actually setting up a phony production company
to produce a bogus movie at LAPD expense. The plan is to
draw the starstruck wiseguy into revealing his real
purpose for coming to L.A. But before long the
overbudgeted movie is rocketing into production. Tough,
streetwise Scully, who thought he'd seen just about
everything, is astounded by the distorted egos and total
insanity of the movie business, and while he struggles to
keep his sting operation from spinning wildly out of
control, he and Alexa find themselves and Shane's teenaged
son, Chooch, involved in something much bigger than they
had ever imagined, something that puts all their lives on
the line.
