Synopsis

A modern-day Sioux warrior is on the warpath, avenging five of his most famous ancestors by killing contemporary white leaders. When the pinto-riding Indian Avenger brutally murders the Secretary of the Interior before thousands of onlookers at a Native American gathering on the Washington Mall, President Elizabeth Chamberlain decides to intervene. But, instead of relying on federal authorities, she turns to local D.C. detective Quinn Shannon, a Harley-riding, beer-swilling, over-the-hill cop with retirement on his mind. To track the assassin, Shannon relies on one of the Indian's own--an old Sioux Sundancer named Ben Soaring Eagle. It's a race against time as Shannon and Soaring Eagle try to stop the Sioux assassin before he completes the fifth revenge.
