The true story of what is perhaps the most legendary case in the history of the NYPD, detailing Randy Jurgensen's determined effort to bring justice to the murderer of Police Officer Phillip Cardillo who was shot and killed inside Harlem's Mosque No. 7 in 1972. The New York of that era was a place not unlike the Wild West, in which cops and criminals shot it out on a daily basis and the tales of this case are told to this day to each and every new recruit at the Police Academy.
