Agent
Based on a True Story. Circa 1970s, a dysfunctional narco cop, suspended for unruly behavior, is tapped to go undercover to infiltrate a motorcycle gang that's suspected of stealing weapons from a military depot, but once inside he discovers the much darker truth of this organization, which ultimately puts his own family in jeopardy.
In 1978, an undercover cop responsible for killing one of their motorcycle gang members with whom he was embedded is given an ultimatum: go back undercover and retrieve a cache of stolen military guns, or be prosecuted for the killing.
After his last assignment went south, a cop on suspension is given the opportunity to redeem himself by infiltrating a ruthless biker gang that may have ties to illegal arms. But he soon discovers that the gang not only has the illegal weapons, but are delving into human trafficking, and are planning on overtaking their current leader, who is aware of their intentions.
When some of the Army’s weapons go missing and a motorcycle gang he is familiar with is the suspect, an undercover agent who is being investigated by internal affairs for a wrongful killing is asked to go back undercover to retrieve them and clear his name, but is also putting his family at high risk.
