Hauser is an FBI agent who has gone undercover in a major organized crime syndicate, spending his time performing minor errands for an unseen person known only as Ziggy, who he intends to bring down. He is asked to spend a week torturing an accountant for information on $10 million dollars of Ziggy's money that's gone missing, and the feds tell him to go ahead with it rather than break cover. Somewhere in all the harm he does, he begins to notice events are taking a certain pattern, and he begins to realize all is not as it seems.
