English Summary:

Pittsburgh homicide detective Thomas Hardy turns in his partner and cousin, Jimmy Detillo, for using excessive force, which in turn causes him to became alienated by the majority of his fellow officers. Thomas and his father Vincent are en route to the Policemen's Ball when a call comes in indicating a serial killer, the Polish Hill Strangler, who Tommy believes is a police officer, has been spotted driving in downtown Pittsburgh. As Tom and Vince pursue the killer's car, the vehicles collide and both roll down an embankment. When Tom regains consciousness, he learns his father has been shot dead and the killer has escaped. Police arrest a criminal named Douglas Kesser as the Strangler. Later, Jimmy jumps off the 31st Street Bridge; his body is never found.

Two years later, an alcoholic Tom has been reassigned to the River Rescue Squad. Called to the scene of a body dump, Tom finds the victim is an ex-girlfriend. He is assigned a new partner, Jo Christman, who learns from District Attorney Frank Morris that Tom had been demoted after telling a television reporter that he believed the Strangler was a policeman. After a nurse is abducted, Tom receives a phone call similar to the ones left by the Strangler. Detective Eddie Eiler, who hates Tom for turning in Jimmy, states on TV the murder was committed by a copycat. Tom is met with strong opposition by his uncle, Captain Nick Detillo, after suggesting the Strangler is back. Tom steals the Strangler file from the precinct in order to conduct an unauthorized investigation. Soon after, the body of another of Tom's ex-girlfriends is found.

Hungarian Summary:

Áthelyezik a vízirendőrséghez Tom Hardyt, a pittsburghi rendőrség gyilkossági osztályáról. Ám hiába a megváltozott munkakör, Hardynak rá kell döbbennie, hogy nem fordíthat hátat eredeti hivatásának. Kiderül, hogy apja halála valószínűleg ugyanannak a pszichopata gyilkosnak a számlájára írható, aki most nőket gyilkol. Hatásköri túllépést kell elkövetnie, mégis folytatja a nyomozást. Az összes áldozathoz köti valamilyen szál, és lassan ő lesz az első számú gyanúsított.
