Tequila Sunrise (1988)

In the sun-drenched haze of California, Dale "Mac" McKussic, once a renowned cocaine dealer, now seeks redemption as a small businessman. His past, however, is a relentless specter that haunts him, drawing him back into the perilous underbelly of crime for one last score. As he teeters on the edge of legality, he becomes the prey in a relentless chase led by the law's vigilant eyes. Mac's high school friend, Detective Lieutenant Nick Frescia, is now on the other side of the law, assigned to bring Mac to justice. The two friends, linked by a bond of trust and loyalty, now stand on opposite ends of the battlefield, their friendship strained as they navigate the murky waters of crime and justice. Caught in this dangerous cat-and-mouse game is Jo-Ann Vallenari, an elegant restaurateur who captivates both men. As Mac and Nick vie for her affections, they also use their proximity to her to further their goals. Nick, hoping to unearth more about Mac's dealings, gets closer to Jo-Ann, while Mac, drawn by an old 'accounting problem' with the elusive Mexican drug kingpin, Carlos, sees Jo-Ann as an unwitting pawn in his dangerous game. As the DEA Agent Hal Maguire joins the chase, eager to bring Mac down, the tension escalates. Loyalty, trust, and friendship are on trial as Mac battles the temptation to revert to his old ways. Can he resist the allure of the easy way out? This intriguing tale of crime, friendship, and desire challenges the boundaries of trust, loyalty, and love, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.
