Detective Isaac Bell races through the streets of Prohibition-era America after gunmen shoot his boss Joseph Van Dorn during a high-speed chase of rum runners. Bell promises the wounded Van Dorn he will track down those responsible. The investigation takes a deadly turn when a witness dies using a killing method from the Russian secret police. Bell realizes he faces no ordinary criminals. His pursuit leads from war-torn Europe to New York speakeasies, from Detroit's violent streets to Florida's luxury resorts.
