Plot[]

Ryder Hart (Peter Weller) is a private investigator and former police officer who is down on his luck and drinks too much. His estranged wife Anita (Alexandra Paul) runs a bar and restaurant called the Sunset Grill. Anita is romantically involved with Jeff Carruthers (Michael Anderson, Jr.), a Los Angeles police detective who formerly worked with Hart.

Carruthers introduces Hart to a wealthy businessman, Harrison Shelgrove (Stacy Keach), and his alluring assistant Loren (Lori Singer). When someone close to them is murdered, Hart and Carruthers team up to try to solve the crime.

In the course of their investigation they uncover another mystery involving illegal immigrants from Mexico, including two who worked at the Sunset Grill.
