| Overview: | "L.A. Confidential" meets "The Corrupter" in this deadly tale of murder and betrayal...
1940s Los Angeles: a time of big bands, big cars, and a mob that ruled the waterfront. When a Chinese businessman is pulled from the river wearing a pair of cement boots, cop Frank Doakey takes the case. Doakey's investigation takes him to the Peking Empress Club, a glamorous bordello in the heart of Chinatown, where the girls are disappearing one by one. The murders are clearly linked and only one man has witnessed the crimes--but the mob has found him first and he's not talking.
