But when a trio of frenzied meth addicts go on a wild kidnapping spree through downtown, the veteran cop and his rookie get caught in the middle of the mayhem.

Violence escalates as the fugitives grow more desperate. Their spree spirals into a rampage as threats become bloodshed. The entire police force mobilizes, hoping to end the carnage before bloodshed becomes murder. But as McDaniel unravels the truth behind the reckless scheme, he realizes his rookie may be the only one who can bring the desperados to heel.

Hang on for a fast-paced action-packed ride as McDaniel and Conklin chase down Half a Monster.
