America, June 1940: Nick Train has given up his dreams of a boxing championship after a brief and unsuccessful career in the ring.

When one of his pals takes the examination for the police academy, Nick decides to join him. But what started out as a whim turns into a dangerous challenge, as Nick plays a precarious double game of collector for the mob and mole for a shadowy enforcement body...

Will the rookie cop's luck hold?
