After 30 years as partners in the pressure cooker environment of the NYPD, highly decorated Detectives Turk (Academy Award® winner Robert De Niro) and Rooster, (Academy Award® winner Al Pacino) should be ready for retirement. But before they can hang up their badges, they are called in to investigate the murder of a notorious pimp, which appears to have ties to a case they solved years before. Like the original murder, the victim is a suspected criminal whose body is found accompanied by a four line poem, justifying the killing. When additional crimes take place, it becomes clear the detectives are looking for a serial killer, one who targets criminals that have fallen through the cracks of the judicial system. His mission is to do what the cops can't do on their own - take the culprits off the streets for good. The similarities between the recent killings and their earlier case raise a nagging question - did they put the wrong man behind bars?
