In Los Angeles in 1990, Kern County deputy sheriff Joe "Deke" Deacon is called to the LAPD precinct to collect forensic evidence pertaining to a recent murder. Deacon, a former detective now under pressure to retire by his superiors on the force, accompanies recently appointed lead detective Jimmy Baxter to the scene of a new murder in L.A. Deacon notices similarities between the M.O. of the killing with an old serial murder case he was unable to solve during his days as a detective.
That night, a woman, Ronda Rathbun, is followed by a car while jogging home and is reported missing the following morning. Baxter learns from the precinct's captain, Farris, that Deacon lost his marriage and suffered a heart attack owing to his intense obsession with his unsolved murder case, and is advised not to involve Deacon any further in the current investigation. Deacon, however, takes a week of vacation and rents a cheap apartment space in Los Angeles so that he can remain in the city and assist in solving Baxter's case.
The next night, the police discover the body of another murder victim washed up beneath a bridge. Baxter learns from his partner that the M.O. is consistent with both the earlier murder as well as the string of killings that Deacon was unable to solve: the victims were all prostitutes stabbed to death. Deacon begins investigating Albert Sparma, a potential suspect working at a repair store in proximity to the murders. Sparma thwarts Deacon's attempt at tailing him; he is later brought in for questioning, where he is uncooperative and taunts the detectives. Sparma is released after provoking Deacon into nearly attacking him.
The FBI is called in to take charge of the investigation within the week, giving Deacon and Baxter less time to solve the case. Farris informs Baxter that Sparma falsely confessed to a murder eight years ago and is likely not a reliable suspect. Baxter, unconvinced, continues to join Deacon in investigating Sparma. After an unsuccessful search of Sparma's apartment, the two tail him as he leaves a gentlemen's club the following night. While Deacon retrieves coffee, Baxter corners Sparma alone and demands to know Rathbun's location. Sparma offers to drive Baxter to where he has supposedly hid Rathbun's body; Baxter cautiously accompanies Sparma in the latter's car, while Deacon follows them.
Sparma takes Baxter to a remote area in the desert and has him dig several holes in search of Rathbun's apparent burial site before admitting that the trip was a ruse and that he has never killed anyone before. A skeptical Baxter continues digging; Sparma begins to taunt him repeatedly, until Baxter snaps and strikes Sparma over the head with a shovel, killing him instantly. Deacon arrives on the scene shortly thereafter; a flashback reveals that he accidentally shot one of the survivors of his last murder case, and that Farris and Dunigan, the precinct's coroner, helped cover up the incident. Deacon offers similar assistance to a shaken Baxter, instructing him to bury Sparma in the desert.
Deacon spends the night discarding all evidence from Sparma's apartment, and returns to the desert the following morning as Baxter finishes digging Sparma's grave. Baxter is desperate to believe that Sparma is their suspect, hoping it will justify his actions. Deacon, however, advises him to forget about the case completely lest it haunt him for life. At home, Baxter receives an envelope containing a red barrette worn by Rathbun the night of her disappearance. Baxter is relieved, believing the barrette to have been collected from Sparma's apartment. However, Deacon is shown to have purchased and mailed Baxter an identical barrette to provide him ostensible closure on the case. The real killer is left unrevealed by the end of the film.
