Synopsis
editIn 1978, $20 million was stolen from a Detroit bank. One of the robbers was caught, one was found dead, and the third disappeared. The money was never found. In 1985, the captured robber was released from jail. He immediately went to Miami, only to be found dead the next day.
Now FBI agents Doug Bennet (a cop in New York) and Steve Forest (who has opened a school for helicopter pilots in Tampa) have been called in to investigate the case while posing as Miami police officers. Somewhere in Miami, the third robber is hiding with his $20 million, and he has a seven-year head start on the authorities.
