HARD Synopsis

When a series of brutal killings of young male hustlers awaken the police to the threat of a serial killer, rookie detective Raymond Vates and his partner, detective Tom Ellis, must battle an intolerant police department that is indifferent to what it calls “misdemeanor killings.” Jack is the killing machine--a drifter who has come to town on the way to somewhere else--stalking the nighttime streets of L.A. seeking out the runaways and other lost souls who gather around the hot glow of Hollywood’s neon underworld--leaving a wake of bodies behind him.

However it seems the killer has his eyes on a bigger prize, Vates himself. On a careless whim, Vates sets himself up as the new target of the serial killer’s wrath. When his stolen badge implicates him in one of the murders, Vates is suspended from the police force and must admit to a dark secret and reveal his curious relationship with the killer. Vates, now forsaken and isolated by all, must venture out to clear his name.

Set in the dark alleyways of Los Angeles and the bright hallways of law enforcement, HARD tells the timeless story of good versus evil. A cross between SEVEN and BASIC INSTINCT, HARD is a gruesome, suspenseful, and totally absorbing crime drama.
