The body of an elderly man is pulled from a city canal. The scene is recorded by a low budget Producer/Cameraman who rides with the police for his reality television show. While editing the show he recognizes the dead man as the janitor of a building where two months earlier he had recorded the murder scene of a social worker who had been trying to rescue child prostitutes. Already doubtful that the social worker's death was a burglary gone bad as the police claimed he contacts the police with his suspicions. They warn him to drop the matter because he could compromise a sensitive under cover drug operation and he is threatened with losing his ride-along status which would mean the end of his television show. Determined to see justice done, he decides to contact an Investigative Reporter with a reputation for exposing scandals and explains his suspicions. The Reporter - though intrigued by the Cameraman's story - is involved in a political corruption investigation of his own and is planning his marriage to the daughter of a wealthy influential businessman. When the Cameraman turns up dead a few days later, the Reporter begins his own investigation that leads him into a dangerous world of violent pimps, corrupt cops and under age prostitutes.
