Synopsis:

An actor famous for his shallow action roles has an upcoming audition for a serious part in a cop movie. To prepare he arranges to trail a reluctant, tough-as-nails, rule-breaking detective, and winds up getting involved in the "real life" search for a Manhattan serial killer, The Party Crasher.
