Outline

Lieutenant Curtis Rivers (Montel Williams) is in trouble again, this time for punching a Congressional candidate (Peter Brown) wearing a SEAL Trident and accusing him of being an imposter. Rivers complicates things by using his defence counsel, Harm, as bait in a lethal trap to lure out another phoney SEAL. A US Senator (James Karen) wants to recommend Admiral Chegwidden for a nomination as a Federal District Judge, but will the Admiral substitute his integrity for political expediency.
