Buster McHenry, an undercover cop and detective for the Philadelphia Police Department, is first shown walking to bar late at night. He invited over a prostitute to join him at the bar that same night. When they witness at gunfight outside against some Asian gang and the police, McHenry goes out to investigate. He takes an empty beer bottle with him, and he drops it at the scene. Then, he runs toward the Asian gangster and threats him with his gun. After he takes down the Asian gang, Detective Geddles have McHenry placed under arrest. Geddles, meeting McHenry for the first time (unaware that he is also a cop working for the same police department), states that he is a menace. McHenry responds with a slap to Geddles face, and the latter punches him in the face.
The next morning, he is released by his colleague Detective Miles Finch. He is commanded to apologize to Geddles for his actions that night. But he refuses, much to Finch's disappointment. He gives McHenry a warning, telling him to not misbehave, or he will be again arrested.
The same day, McHenry meets with Marino, J.J., Matt, and Corso. McHenry informs Marino about some diamonds that are worth $6 million, and that Detective Finch needs those rocks. So McHenry, along with Marino and his henchmen goes to a local jewelry store to rob those diamonds. Although McHenry had no intention to harm or kill any hostages, he gets angry with Marino for taking down one of the employees of the store. They all flee the crime scene, and they hide inside an auction house. Marino steals an Indian spear that Hank Storm was putting up for auction. McHenry tried to stop Marino, but J.J. pushes him down to the ground and pulls him to a car they jacked. Both Marino and J.J. threats McHenry to death, if he doesn't drive them away from the cops. When they managed to escape the cops, McHenry puts the car in reverse and tries to steal the shotgun from J.J and dump the car in the water. But J.J. hits McHenry with his shotgun, and Marino shoots him in the back of the stomach. Corso finds his friends, and they all leave McHenry to die from his gunshot wound. However, he is rescued by Storm and he takes McHenry to a hotel to privately cure him.
Two days later, he wakes up at Storm's home. He is provided with food and hospitality, and McHenry fully recovers. The next day, they go out to search for Marino and his henchman. Storm wants to kill Marino for stealing the spear, but McHenry does not have any intentions to kill, but only to arrest. They both head to a drug dealer's place, to steal pistols from them. A police officer discovers them jumping off the edge of the building, so Detective Finch and Ransom goes out to find them both. Then they head to Corso's Italian Restaurant, in order to get revenge on him and ask him where to find Marino. They both lock Corso inside of Storm's car trunk. They head to Marino's girlfriend (Barbara) beauty parlor, and they go to ask her where to find him. But Barbara did not wanted to give them an answer, and she tells them to leave. However, Marino's henchman and J.J. finds them, and they get into a gunfight. McHenry and Storm protects Barbara, and they run out from the back. McHenry informs some cops that J.J. and a henchman is on the run. They both watch the cops pursue them, however they get away. At a subway station, McHenry once again advices Storm to not take down Marino, but he denies. Much to his disappointment, he informs him that he wishes Storm changes his mind, and pushes him towards some passengers, as McHenry grabs Barbara and quickly exit the train before the doors fully shutters. But it was too late for Storm, and the train begins to depart.
McHenry and Barbara walk throughout the city, but he discovers Storm that he has escaped the train. They enter a department store in order to hide from him. But he gets back with Storm when he was almost arrested for bashing his hand on a glass box display. The two reconcile, and Storm thanks McHenry for rescuing him. Storm is having illusions about his father, and he tells him that he wants to go check on him. But when they both arrive to his home, they discover Storm's father lifeless, after he has been gunned down by J.J.. Much to Storm's dismay, McHenry encourages him to join him from now on. When they exit the home and returns to the cab, Marino and J.J. returns and they get into another gunfight. Barbara is fatally shot by his boyfriend, much to McHenry's shock. He tries to take down Marino in retribution, but they quickly escape. The cops arrive to the scene, assuming that both McHenry and Storm murdered Barbara. Finch and Ransom are also there, and they take them away in their car. Finch is disappointed with McHenry for his actions, and asks him why he never got the diamonds he wanted. So Finch and Ransom frees McHenry and Storm, and gives them at least 6 hours in order to retrieve those diamonds, or else they will be arrested.
McHenry and Storm are both suspicious of Finch and Ransom, so they both follow them to Marino's hideout. They both realize that the two corrupted detectives worked with Marino the entire time, and that they want to get rid of McHenry in order to keep the diamonds to them. When they arrive to the hideout, the alarm goes off and Marino and his henchman are aware. They go out to find both McHenry and Storm, however they are taken down by both of them. They hide inside of a horse barn, and Marino fires a flare towards it, setting it on fire. Storm gives the half of his father's medicine stone to McHenry, to wish him "good luck". McHenry escapes on a motorcycle and runs over Ransom, which he was trying to gun him down. He quickly gets up and finds Finch, and shoots him in the stomach. Finch wants to take it easy on McHenry, telling him that "he made a bad move". McHenry replies to him, saying that he as well did a bad move, and tells him to put his hands in the air. Marino kills Finch for assuming that he allied with McHenry, and then points the gun to him, preparing to kill him. Storm saves and interrupts Marino, but is knocked out of the horse by J.J.. After Marino accidentally killed J.J., because Storm used him as a shield to protect himself. Marino was about to shoot him again. McHenry, already having enough of Marino's villainy, he grabs the Indian spear and throws it at Marino, fatally impaling him. McHenry and Storm look at each other, tired and relieved.
A month later, McHenry visits Storm, now working as a tour guide in Texas, tells him that he is again a policeman, hoping it will turn his life around. He also thanks Storm for showing McHenry the error of his ways. They shake hands as both men realize that they have better futures. Storm promises McHenry that he will visit him sometime soon.
