Gibbons and Tozzi, the FBI renegades People called "the best fictional cop duo around," are in deep trouble with the mob and about to see if one bad apple can slaughter the whole bunch. Working on an undercover mob sting operation, Tozzi has targeted Tony Bells, the strangest wiseguy in the Mafia. But when the last agent to go undercover with Bells is suddenly found slumped over the wheel of his car, covered with blood and near death, Gibbons has to risk blowing Tozzi's cover to let him know how dangerous Bells really is. Gibbons unsuspectingly tips Bells off to Tozzi's true identity, and the crazed wiseguy handcuffs Tozzi to the mob sister they both have their eyes on, taking them hostage. The chase is on as the trio moves all over town trying to avoid the police and the mob, but eventually they're cornered after midnight on the Upper West Side where the giant balloons are being inflated for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Bullets fly and tempers flare as Gibbons and Tozzi square off against the bad guys in a deadly showdown that manages to be a bit surreal, very funny, and thoroughly entertaining, all at the same time.
