The victim is shot in the back of the head, execution-style. A bone-tired NOPD Det. LaStanza identifies the victim then meets his victim's seventeen year old daughter who is reluctant to talk at first, but when she does, she draws LaStanza to a Latin-American killing circle where he must build a case against drug importers and keep the daughter alive. The 'Electric Daughter' is an alluring, beautiful, wired hellion, a drug user running wild in the streets.
