Plot: Before an ecstatic crowd of 14,000 enthusiastic spectators for a big heavyweight boxing match, out of the blue, a bullet hits the Secretary of Defence, Charles Kirkland. With a front-row seat to Kirkland's mortal wounding, the corrupt Atlantic City homicide detective, Rick Santoro, must work fast to handle the explosive situation, as his childhood friend and incorruptible U.S. Navy Commander, Kevin Dunne, is about to take the blame for this outrageous security fiasco. But, amid thousands of eye-witnesses and potential suspects, who was the mysterious suicide blonde who was seen talking to the politician? In the end, can Rick handle the more and more startling revelations?
Alternative Plot: Detective Rick Santoro (Nicolas Cage) has never played by the rules. When he attends a high-profile boxing match with his friend Navy Cmdr. Kevin Dunne (Gary Sinise), as well as Defense Secretary Kirkland (Joel Fabiani), he witnesses a terrorist assassinate Kirkland. Despite a lockdown on the arena, key witness Julia Costello (Carla Gugino) escapes -- and Santoro begins to suspect Kirkland's death is part of a much larger conspiracy that involves boxing rivals and a beautiful stranger.
