Dean Cain plays the ex jock high school football star turned journalist with Navy Seal training. Yes, seriously. You can't make this up, people. He stumbles upon a conspiracy when his doctor friend is accused of a murder but then is killed himself. Further digging reveals college students linked to the dead doc, diseases and the pharmaceutical industry.

Brian Bosworth is the crooked detective in charge of making it all go away and tying up loose ends. Canadian actor Nigel Bennett (Forever Knight) plays the flicks corrupt politician tied to the drug company. The story pulls no punches while offering up the standard checklist of car chases, foot chases, few explosions, expendable supporting characters, a bad line or two of dialog.

Halifax, Nova Scotia stands in for New England, USA. Quite a few recognizable locations to be spotted for anyone who's ever lived there willing to shut off their brain and enjoy this nonsense. It's a pretty standard direct to video actioner of it's day.
