| Overview: | Lesser of Three Evils tells the tale of three men interlocked by their vices: a cop, a mobster and a professional hit man.
Detective Craig Barnes is an impetuous, street smart and highly decorated LAPD detective, with a tenacious pulse for action and risky arrests. His accomplishments though, are now being investigated by internal affairs, under suspicion that his busts are the result of unscrupulous leads. His involvement with mobster John Lowe and the investigation of the murder of a young woman, means the Faustian game he plays is catching up to him. On the home front too, Craig has to deal with his imbalanced alcoholic wife. All events in Craig's life are coming to a head and the time has come for him to make some crucial decisions.
John Lowe is a powerful, yet hotheaded mobster in one of LA's prominent crime families, with a dogged determination to rise up the chain. John is orchestrating a large drug deal, which Miles is adamantly against. John defies his boss by conspiring with Anthony Black, another crime boss from Jersey and also orders his hit man, Lee Choe, to take out Miles. This leads to a chain of events, where John finds himself being chased by the hit man, Lee and pursued by the cop, Craig.
Professional hit man Lee Choe is one of the best in the business, with a lot of blood on his hands. He refuses mobster John's request to ice the boss, Miles, after which a botched attempt at bullying him results in the killing of his girlfriend, Sarah. Lee goes on a violent revenge mission to kill John and all his henchmen in order to redeem Sarah's death.
The three-way showdown is set. Nothing will stop Lee's path to vengeance. Nothing will stop John's ambition to be boss. And nothing will stop the rollercoaster that forces Craig to make a decision on his career and his wife.
Set in gritty downtown Los Angeles, Lesser of Three Evils is a story of three men, besieged by their terrible past and under pressure to find their future.
