Dead Heat (2002)

In the heart of Boston, Pally LaMarr, a seasoned cop forced into retirement by a relentless heart condition, finds himself engulfed by melancholy. His personal life crumbles as his wife, Charlotte, decides they need time apart, further deepening his despair. To lift his spirits, Ray, Pally's enigmatic half-brother, visits him with an unusual proposal - to invest in a racehorse. Ray, a notorious hustler, has spotted a bargain - a thoroughbred misdiagnosed as a dud, but he knows it's a champion in disguise. As the brothers embark on this adventurous gamble, they unexpectedly cross paths with the ruthless mob boss, Frank Finnigan. Spotting their prized horse, Finnigan seizes it, settling the gambling debt of Tony, a local jockey and single parent struggling with his obligations. As they navigate this twisted maze of mobsters and racetracks, can Pally and Ray reclaim their horse, help Tony shed his shackles of debt, and possibly hit a jackpot? And amidst this swirl of chaos, can Pally reconcile with Charlotte and let his heart guide him towards a new life? Dead Heat is a thrilling roller-coaster that intertwines crime and courage, love and loss, with the pulsating world of horse-racing as its backdrop.
