Maggie MacGowen excels at cinema verite ad at spotting life's truths, with or without her video camera. Now independent filmmaker Maggie, having landed a contract for a network documentary, deliberately insinuates herself in a dangerous place - the 77th Street precinct of Los Angeles, a war zone of gangs, junkies, and deadbeats - to investigate a cop killing twenty years ago.
