Overview
Boomer is a rookie cop based in the urban hellhole that is downtown Chicago. After his involvement in a drug bust operation which results in the death of Carlos, his mentor and father figure, Boomer becomes disillusioned with the brutal and inhumane nature of his job. Consequently, he decides to hand in his resignation to the Chicago Police Department and return to his home town of Joliet, where his fiancé, Kelly, awaits. While en route back to Joliet, however, Boomer makes a grievous error in judgment when he stops for, and assists, an unfortunate motorist whose vehicle appears to have broken down; the naive ex-cop is swiftly attacked and rendered unconscious. Boomer awakes to find that his car and wallet have been stolen, and that he has become involved in a dangerous game of mistaken identity.

00:32:06 And I was ready to offer to untie you, -
00:34:36 One simple, easy phone call?

00:56:10 Listen to me.
01:02:25 Do me a favour, would you, Reg? This time try not to light him on fire.
01:06:55 - Clear out here too. - Shit.
01:10:55 See it?
01:14:20 For that, he gets a second chance.
01:19:09 - it isn't professional.
01:25:07 That was wrong.
01:31:32 What the hell are you doing?
