"Look for us when the moon is new. Look for us, but keep your distance.
We're the Midnight Men, and the prey we're stalking could be you."
In the private eye business, mistakes can be fatal. Just ask Amos
Walker.
First, he pulls his gun on a man he thought was a member of a group of
potential truck hijackers. Even goes so far as to fire a round at the
suspicious driver to make him step from his car. Only trouble is, the
guy - Van Sturtevant - is a cop. Then, after Sturtevant is crippled in a
shootout with a gang of black militants, Walker -- figuring he owes the
cop for letting him off the hook -- offers his investigatory services to
the officer's pretty, blond wife, Karen. At no charge. If Walker had
been paying attention, he would have seen the warning signs. But now
bodies are going to start piling up, with politicians, private eyes, and
members of Detroit's Finest on the giving and receiving ends. Yes,
mistakes can be fatal. And if Walker doesn't watch his back, the next
one will definitely be his last....
