He soon is faced with opposition from within and without. 1970's. Before. The House of Cards, there was Power Play.
Events occur that uncover a sordid police mentality, unveil the civil rights of the Flower Children being violated, ruin reputations and threaten the very lives of Collie's confederates.
Collie is met by an unscrupulous adversary, practiced in deceit; manipulated state investigative agencies and a contaminated police department.
