Someone is targeting officers in the city. When John Steele’s close friend and fellow officer, Paul is shot in an ambush. A few days later Paul’s partner Zito is shot in front of his apartment. John thinks it’s a member of the Mexican cartel who goes by the name Cobra. Because Cobra is a major financial donor to the mayor and two city councilmen, John feels the police department has its hands tied due to politics. It’s not until someone shoots his partner Marie and tries to shoot him at his home that he decides to deal with Cobra himself.
