Los Angeles Times gang reporter Michael Lyons has just left his favourite downtown saloon when he is shot and wounded on the sidewalk. After the initial shock, fellow reporters put together a betting pool. The bet? 'Who Shot Mike?' There are a lot of contenders. When the LAPD's investigation stalls, the Times runs editorials critical of the police. Then, when detectives uncover an audio tape of Lyons talking to a gang member about the benefits of getting shot, they release the tape. The embarrassed newspaper editor fires Lyons, who then sets out on the streets of Southside Los Angeles with a vengeance to find the shooter.
