Spoiler Points for Street King:
• Tom Ludlow (Keanu Reeves) watches his former partner he's been told has been snitching to Internal Affairs get massacred before his eyes in what's supposed to look like a random convenience store melee gone wild.
• Before long, though, he and the Detective put on solving the murder, Paul Diskant (Chris Evans) become embroiled in the cat and mouse game being played by people with egos as deep as the La Brea Tar Pits.
• Diskant and Ludlow 'team up' only to find out that Ludlow's unit now considers him rogue and marks him for death.
• They being unraveling the pieces of the puzzle when a minor king pin named Scribble (Cedric the Entertainer) leads them to a scary meeting with some big time, untouchable hoods. Diskant ends up dead, and Ludlow escapes with his life, only to find himself a wanted man in connection with killing two undercover Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriffs.
• But the clues don't add up, and eventually Ludlow figures out the real game going on. After killing the unit-mates of his that were sent to dispatch him, he realizes that only the unit commander, his long-time mentor and confidant, had gone bad himself. Captain Jack Wander (Forest Whitaker) had been there for him when his wife was killed, but now had also signed his death sentence. Arriving at Wander's home univited, he confronts and eventually uncovers Wander's secrets (a wall filed with cash, drugs, photos and the like basically anything that could by held to blackmail officials from the Mayor on town. Wander offers it all to Ludlow claiming they could rule LA together. Unfortunately for Wander, Ludlow pulls the trigger sending spirally to his death.
• But, in the end, Ludlow really got played as he learns he was part of a master plan conceived by Biggs (Hugh Laurie) to bring down Wander—he somehow knew that when Ludlow learned he had been betrayed, he would retaliate in kind.
