On March 9, 1963, LAPD officers Karl Hettinger (Savage) and Ian Campbell (Danson) pull over a vehicle for making an illegal U-turn and find themselves held at gunpoint by two seasoned armed robbers. Forced to give up their guns and drive to a deserted road, both officers face the horror of becoming victims in a mob-style execution...but only one is able to escape into the bleak darkness of an onion field. (official distributor synopsis)
