Writer Stephen Zito crafted multiple episodes of shows like Midnight Caller and JAG, and this mostly plays like an episode from a late '80s cop show.

It originally aired as an NBC Sunday Night Movie against... the first episode of Lonesome Dove (which trounced it in the ratings) and It's Garry Shandling's Show on FOX.Show less
