Jimmy (David Caruso David Caruso) used to fight in the underworld, but now he has changed his ways and become an undercover agent for the police. Gangster Ritter (Nicholas Cage Nicolas Cage) appreciates Jimmy, who is brave and resourceful, and even wants to absorb him to become a core member of the gang. This is a good thing for the police, but not so good for Jimmy, because Little is cruel and paranoid, and if he finds out who he really is, he will have to die. Finally, Jimmy created a great opportunity for the police to find evidence to arrest Ritter. In the end, however, Ritter was freed because of lack of evidence, which means that Jimmy's identity has been exposed, and he has become a thorn in Little's side.
