In a city gripped by fear, a series of bombings orchestrated by a methodical madman leaves chaos in its wake. At the center of the investigation is LAPD detective Geronimo Minneli, tasked with piecing together clues left behind by the elusive bomber. His only lead is a witness, a malcontent ex-convict named Willie, who struggles with his own paranoia and distrust of authority. As Minneli delves deep into the criminal underworld to track down the bomber, he learns that Willie holds vital information that could identify the perpetrator. However, getting Willie to cooperate proves difficult as he is hesitant to reveal what he knows out of fear for his own safety.

As time runs out, Minneli's desperation mounts, and the stakes grow higher when the bomber's increasingly erratic behavior threatens more lives. Concurrently, an intense psychological battle ensues between the wounded yet determined detective and the unstable but cunning madman. With each new explosion hurling the city into chaos, Minneli gets closer to deciphering the bomber's twisted motives. Tension escalates as he races against the clock to prevent further destruction, all while navigating through layers of red herrings and misdirection. In this high-stakes cat-and-mouse game, Minneli must unravel the bomber’s identity and stop him before he claims more victims, testing his resilience and resolve to its limits.
