Plot: At the Marshal Service office, Milt Dancey (Matthew Glave) informs Karen Sisco (Willa Fitzgerald) that she's being sent to escort Sonny Franseze (Tom Sizemore) back up to Detroit so that he can testify in person with the ATF agents regarding their case against the Detroit Mafia. Karen, who is preoccupied with trying to figure out if she is dating a bank robber or not, asks Milt if there is anyone else he can send. Milt insists that since Karen is the deputy assigned to Sonny Franseze's case, that she needs to be the one to take him back up north.
Karen and Sonny Franseze (Tom Sizemore) take a flight up to the bitter cold of Detroit, which Karen is seemingly unprepared for. Sonny laughs at Karen's reaction to the cold, insisting it's actually a pretty mild winter for Detroit. Karen takes Sonny to the ATF Detroit field office where they are greeted by the ATF agent in charge of the case, Ray Nicolette (Chris Klein). Karen immediately notices that Ray is an avid gum chewer. While Karen is waiting for Sonny's meeting with Ray and the other ATF agents, she talks to her father Marshall Sisco (Scott Bakula) and the phone. He asks how the ATF is treating her. She says they're fine, although the main agent chews gum in an annoying fashion. KAren then realizes that Ray is standing nearby and heard her say this. Karen tells her father she has to go. She apologizes to Ray for talking about his gum chewing. He reveals that he is chewing so much gum because he recently quit smoking and he can't stand the patches.
Jackie Tocchio (Dan Aykroyd), head of the Detroit Mafia, is informed that Sonny Franseze is back in Detroit to testify against him to the ATF. Jackie orders every man at his disposal to kill Sonny. Whichever man succeeds, Jackie offers up $10,000 and a yearly subscription to Omaha Steaks. Karen is driving Sonny back to the hotel when their rental car is t-boned by a truck. Realizing that Jackie Tocchio's men have found them, Karen leads an injured Sonny into a grocery store to hide out. She calls Ray to let him know of the situation. He assures her that he will be there soon. When he is informed that Sonny and a Deputy US Marshal are trapped in a grocery store, Jackie decides that he would like to kill Sonny himself for turning on him. Jackie takes a ride down to the store, arriving at the same time as Ray. The two engage in a shootout in the checkout area of the store while Karen and Sonny are hiding in the beer aisle. Sonny grabs a beer out of a cooler and begins drinking it, insisting he refuses to die sober. Karen tells Sonny to hide inside the beer cooler while she goes to help Ray take out Jackie and his men. Karen finds Ray taking cover behind the customer service counter. He asks her where Sonny is and she says that he's hiding and drinking beers. The two manage to take out a few of Jackie's men by the time backup arrives and the store is swarmed by SWAT officers who subdue and arrest Jackie and the rest of his men.
As the dust settles at the grocery store, Ray mentions to Karen that it turns out that they no longer will be requiring Sonny' testimony since they now have Jackie Tocchio on the attempted murder of a federal agent, which will put him behind bars longer than any organized crime charge ever would. This news pleases Karen, as she feels that Sonny should have never been put into witness protection in the first place. She tells the officers to arrest Sonny Franseze as well for his involvement in the Detroit Mafia. Sonny and Jackie are put into the back of a police van together and taken off to jail.
Ray offers to drive Karen to the airport for her flight back to Florida. She says that she has to take the rental car back but thanks him for the offer.
