While she is attempting to help Stan (Jeff Fahey), the District Attorney, set-up a drug buy with a witness he needs for another case, they seem to have mutual attraction in each other. Lt. Joe Morgan (George Dzundza) has the hots for her, but she cant stand him. f62 Written by Richard Jones In Los Angeles, Detective Lottie Mason works undercover as a whore on the streets or a junkie with the vice-squad leaded by the corrupt Lt.

After an assignment where she was almost killed, she has a flat tire while driving home. She goes to a bar to kill time while her car is fixed. Completely upset, she meets the charming criminal Tony Perón that Stan is chasing, but unknown for her, and he offers a huge amount for her to go to his place.

While the police search the unknown woman, Lottie lives a dilemma about what to do with the money.
