The action ignites in an about-to-be-closed police precinct building. During a snowy New Year's Eve, a most-wanted mobster, Marion Bishop (Fishburne), is temporarily incarcerated at the doomed Precinct 13 - and the address receives renewed, unwanted attention from all sides of the law. As the sun sets and a long night begins, a motley crew of policemen and prisoners, reluctantly captained by cop Jake Roenick (Hawke), must band together to fight off a team of heavily armed rogues that want to extract Bishop at any cost. .
