Rosenzweig must dig into the shadowy underworld of 1960s New York to track down the elusive suspect, Frank Koehler, before time runs out. In a race against the clock, Rosenzweig's investigation becomes a gripping battle of wits and wills with the cunning Koehler, who has evaded justice for decades. As the two men's fates collide, the stakes couldn't be higher - for either of them.
