Plot Summary

1983. Having rock-solid evidence of political corruption, LAPD Detective Mason Storm has caught unwanted attention from the mob and its political supporters. With corrupt officers monitoring his every step, Storm soon invites violence into his home when hired assassins decimate his family and leave him for dead. But in 1990, seven years after the life-changing incident, resilient Storm miraculously recovers from a deep coma. However, blood demands justice, and Storm still has loose ends to tie up. As Mason picks up where he left off, not even an army of thugs can deny him the opportunity to get even. After all, who fears death when they are already dead? Written by Nick Riganas

Trivia Kelly Le Brock had pretty much retired from acting at the time this movie was made and only did it as a favor for her husband. In retrospect she calls the movie "Hard to Watch" or "Hard to Believe." See more »
Goofs Mason isn't filming at all when Senator Trent steps into the light. He is instead trying to adjust the camera. The Senator shouldn't be on tape, therefore. See more »
