Someone knows too much.
Relegated to routine assignments, following a botched undercover operation for which he was made the scapegoat, Jeffries is a man adrift in a world he distrusts, betrayed by a government agency to which he has dedicated his life. While exploring the scene of the murders at a modest Chicago home, Jeffries discovers the missing boy hidden in a crawl space. His cop instincts also tell him that the boy is in danger, prompting him to demand police surveillance at the hospital where Simon is being cared for. When the surveillance is inexplicably dropped, Jeffries takes the boy under his own protection and flees. Although his associates disregard Jeffries' accusations, chalking them up to his paranoia, an attack on Shnon proves Jeffries' theory.
