Sergeant Gerry Boyle works in the small town of Galway, loves an argument and has a rather acidic sense of humor. When a colleague disappears, the city becomes the target of a major drug trafficking investigation. The situation doesn't please Gerry, who is forced to at least show some interest in what Wendell Everett, an FBI agent assigned to handle the case, says. Wendell, in turn, doesn't care about the city's residents and just wants to do his job. He and Gerry don't get along, but they have to work together to solve the mystery.
