A nightmarish series of events sweeps LAPD's Sergeant
Shane Scully and his wife (and boss), Alexa, into the
vortex of an enormous, jurisdictional firestorm. First, a
sheriff's deputy, a friend of Shane's, is gunned down
while serving a routine search warrant. His fellow
deputies blame the incident on the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms, whom they angrily accuse of failing
to warn them that the suspect had a huge arsenal of
illegal weapons in his house. Soon thereafter, a member of
the ATF Situation Response Team is shot to death, followed
by the sniper murder of a member of the Sheriff's Special
Enforcement Bureau. At the request of the Mayor, the LAPD--
an uninvolved and unbiased agency--assigns Shane to
investigate. He is given an impossible deadline to find a
solution before these two elite and deadly SWAT Teams kill
each other off amid a hurricane of horrible publicity.
