10-year-old Danny Madigan lives in a crime-ridden area of New York City with his widowed mother Irene.

During the film, the ticket stub transports Danny into the fictional world, interrupting Slater during a car chase.

Though Slater dismisses this as Danny's imagination, Slater's supervisor, Lieutenant Dekker, assigns Danny as his partner and instructs them to investigate criminal activities related to mafia boss Tony Vivaldi.
