When two beat cops get a call about a disturbance at a restaurant after hours, they find themselves embroiled in far more than they can handle. There's a nervous waitress and a gun-toting mystery woman, as well as a guy delivering stolen goods. This is a hard case to crack, and Whelkin and Nairn aren't technically supposed to be cracking it. It might all go well except that Emmet, an oblivious young student, has wandered in and is convinced that the whole thing is performance art.
