Synopsis

Officer Jimmy Hoff was going to make the biggest hand to hand cocaine buy in the history of Reno Police Department. One of the most liked and respected officers in town, he was escorted to slaughter by three teenage boys lead by a twenty year old wannabe gangster. Walking the narrow line between foolhardy and gutsy, Jimmy was let down by his surveillance team and wound up in a shallow grave. The killers were quickly rounded up and convicted without trials. Two of the four went to death row. Thirty seven years later, a trail littered with lousy lawyers, lost evidence and questionable police testimony leads to the death chamber or a slow end from old age inside the grey walls of a Nevada prison. Meanwhile, the tainted Nevada justice system marches on.
