Synopsis
Penetrating the organized theft rings at the Port of Halifax was job number one for Billy Taylor during his 31-year police career. Stevedores cart off whole gutted pigs, cargo watchmen and their buddies lift everything from copper ingots to shoes, and cops make off with clothing, plywood and anything that can be written off as damaged goods. Most waterfront workers and cops don't like him, but they don't cross him either. Taylor, a former wrestler, is a streetwise tough guy. It's alcoholism that nearly finishes him off. When he retires, Taylor finally gets it: No one strikes at the heart of port theft, and wins.
