Three years ago, NYPD detective Max Payne's wife and baby were murdered.
Max gets himself transferred to the cold case office where he can
continue searching for the killer who got away. He's a loner, but two
people reach out to him during a fateful week: Alex, his ex-partner who
may have found a clue, and BB, the security chief at the pharmaceutical
company where Max's wife worked. Meanwhile, bodies are piling up, some
as a result of a drug on the street that is highly addictive and, for
many who take it, brings hideous hallucinations. When one of the bodies
is a woman Payne was the last to see alive, her sister comes looking for
him armed to the teeth; Max must move fast.
