Synopsis

In The Loser, the story unfolds in the bustling 21st precinct of New York City, where Captain Frank Kennelly oversees a team of detectives and patrolmen. On a cold, windy day, the precinct faces increased pressure due to a parade and a high-profile visit from the Shah of Iran, which has drawn many officers away from their regular duties. Amidst this chaos, detectives Ralph Scanlon and Chris Vitali are tasked with investigating an armed robbery that occurred at a local bar and grill the previous night, where a customer was shot.
