FIRST DEGREE is a somber, plodding murder mystery for undemanding fans of Rob Lowe.
New York City detectives Rick Mallory (Rob Lowe), Amos Turou (Tom McCamus), and Rico Perrini (Joseph Griffin), investigate the murder of rich socialite Andrew Pyne (Brian Renfro), whose mother (Patricia Gage) believes he was killed by his beautiful wife Hadley (Leslie Hope). Led by Mallory, the
cops, however, settle on gangster Joe Esterro ( Carlo Rota), whose mobster uncle, Alonzo Esterro (Brett Halsey), believes he is innocent and hires Perrini, who has just quit the force to become a private detective, to find the real culprit.
