Bannion is tipped off following a priest's suicide and his officers' silence lead him to believe they truly have been on the gangsters' payroll.

Since Bannion and Debbie collapse further and farther to the gang-land's insidious and brutal trap, they must use any means necessary (including murder) to get to the facts.
