Christian Slater stars in Kuffs as 21-year-old George, a high school dropout with his own ideas of how to achieve the American Dream. George Kuffs is too smart to stand still and too determined to quit, yet when his girlfriend (Milla Jovovich) asks for the one thing George fears most, commitment, he hits the road. But then George's older brother Brad (Bruce Boxleitner), a respected San Francisco Patrol Special owner, is gunned down in the line of duty and George inherits the business. Against the police chief's explicit orders, George decides that he is going to catch Brad's killers. He is assigned a partner, a cop named Ted Bukovsky (Tony Goldwyn), but the last thing George needs is the police department getting in the way of his investigation.
