Meet Dee Laytner and his half-Japanese partner, Ryo McLane, a pair of detectives from New York. Not only are these two always chasing down criminals, but Dee can't stop himself from trying to 'chase' Ryo.

The pair become involved in the local crime scene when Japanese Americans start turning up dead. Will Ryo be in danger?
