The Glimmer Man: Synopsis

In the jungles of the Third World, his unsuspecting targets would hear nothing. They'd sense nothing. And they'd see only a glimmer before it was too late -- he would strike and be gone. His shadowy government superiors called him the Glimmer Man, and they dispatched him on the riskiest, most sensitive covert assignments in which the United States was never officially involved, but which were silently, swiftly taken care of.

Now, as detective Jack Cole (Seagal), he has abandoned his former occupation and identity many years ago.

When a serial murderer with a macabre, ritualistic style plunges the families of Los Angeles into terror, the L.A.P.D., making no headway on the baffling case, are forced to summon the one man whose instinct and understanding of the criminal mind are unrivaled: Detective Jack Cole from New York. This time, in the urban jungle of Los Angeles, Cole is not the killer hunting prey, but the hunter seeking a killer.

The iconoclastic Cole is paired with seasoned local homicide detective Jim Campbell (KEENEN IVORY WAYANS), and the two quickly discover that their match was made somewhere other than heaven.

Cole, steeped in Eastern mysticism and accustomed to operating on his own, is a quiet man of steely precision and solemn resolve. Campbell, whose swaggering exterior belies his soft spot for weepy melodramas, is a tough-talking career cop with no patience for Buddhist prayer beads and a grandstanding loner from New York. But the two, stuck with each other, have to overcome their essential differences and find a way to work together if they're going to catch the murderer, whose body count continues to mount.

Called to the killer's latest crime scene, Cole makes a horrific discovery: his own ex-wife and her new husband are the latest victims. And the clues all seem to implicate Cole himself as the murderer.

With Campbell caught between belief and distrust of his new partner, Cole delves deeper into the mystery and uncovers a trail of unexpected revelations, including a company of professionals from his own secret past tied in with the murders. As the life he thought he'd left behind comes to endanger everyone around him -- his new wife (MICHELLE JOHNSON), his children, his partner and his new identity -- Cole discovers a conspiracy entangled in the killings that is more deadly than he or the cops on the case ever imagined.

The Glimmer Man must again call upon his own lethal talents and confront his history to protect the life he's created from powerful conspirators who are determined not to let the past die.
