Summary:
Adventure/mystery series set in the contemporary American Southwest. Reno Raines (Lamas) was a San Diego detective who testified against other corrupt cops. They tried to kill him, got his girlfriend instead, and then framed Reno for the murder. Reno went underground as 'Vince Black' and took a job as a bounty hunter, pursuing outlaws even as he tries to clear his own name. Two episodes have Vietnam War connections. In "Lyon's roar" (aired 1/10/93) Reno must rescue his drug addicted ex-Ranger commander Earl Lyons who has holed up in the woods and is hijacking pharmaceutical trucks, before the State Police can find him. It seems the State Police captain in charge of the case is a Vietnam vet who does not like renegades who give veterans a bad name. He would just as soon shoot them as arrest them. In "Fighting cage" (aired 5/10-17/93) Reno's brother (Martin Kove) who was MIA in Cambodia turns up as a brainwashed cage fighter with a Thai wife and son.
