In early 1950s Los Angeles, LAPD Sergeant "Ed" Exley is determined to live up the reputation of his father, famed detective Preston Exley, who was killed by an unknown assailant, whom Exley nicknamed "Rollo Tomasi." Already isolated from other officers by his intelligence, work ethic, and idealism, he volunteers to testify against them in the "Bloody Christmas" case in exchange for promotion to detective lieutenant. He rejects Captain Dudley Smith's advice that a detective should beat a confession out of a suspect or shoot him in the back for the greater good.
