In the past Don often relied on informants to catch criminals and bust cases. After losing one of his informants, Don is feeling guilty and questioning his decision to use informants. In his current case he has recruited a street car racer ghost to infiltrate a notorious criminal Babarian’s gang.
In a desperate race against time, Don decides to pull Ghost of the case before it is too late and he loses his life. Unfortunately getting Ghost out of trouble is much harder than expected.
