Superior Beef Kenny Ferguson

One stormy night, a Superior Beef delivery truck crashes, killing the driver. When troopers arrive, they find a big surprise. Not only is the driver dead, but there are three other dead bodies in the rear of the truck, wrapped in plastic. Soon, it comes to light that two of the dead men in the back of the truck were on duty police detectives, and so begins the public outcry for justice. This gruesome story remains on the front page of the newspapers for weeks, and all police investigations to find the killers are stalled because of a lack of evidence. Desperate, the mayor calls Charlie Weadock, a retired Internal Affairs Investigator, whose brother-in-law was one of the victims. Charlie might be a little rusty, but it doesn't take him long to learn that Superior Beef is associated with a New York crime family. The case is overshadowed by the mob, as well as distractions from several government agencies and the fact that Charlie's wife is pregnant, but he blocks out the media hubbub and accepts the mayor's challenge. He creates his own investigative team by gathering a group of current and former police officers and one world class criminal informant.
