Synopsis

    "Temptation" begins on a dark stretch of interstate 95 in rural Georgia, when two veteran drug mules are stopped by an local cop named "Duncan" who relieves them of $750,000 dollars in cash but strangely lets them go with 20 pounds of pure heroin. After having the bad luck of getting stopped and arrested in Florida, they tell the tale of a bad Georgia cop named "Duncan" who robbed them only hours early, only to learn that Deputy Sheriff Duncan was killed during a drug arrest gone bad months earlier.

    The focus turns to Deputy Sheriff Brian Campbell, Duncan's partner who survived the ill-fated drug raid, and Duncan's beautiful widow, Traci. Could they possibly be involved in the impersonation of their fallen partner and husband, or are they just being set up?

    Things heat up as the drug mule's boss dispatches a team of high skilled mercenaries to recover his missing money. With teams from the drug lord, the local Sheriff and Florida law enforcement all trying to piece together what may or may not have happened on that dark stretch of highway it leads to two simple questions: Who has the money, and who's going to pay for it?
