* TokenGoodCop: Freddy is the sheriff of a town inhabited by [[spoiler:corrupt]] [=NYPD=] cops, who commute to work, and their families. He holds his actions to a higher standard than they do, while receiving no support except from his deputies (who both eventually ScrewThisImOuttaHere), an InternalAffairs cop, and local resident Figgsy, who has a corrupt past that he is trying to break free from.

Unfortunately, while the fire worked well enough that no one other than Freddy realized it was arson and Figgsy got the insurance money, Monica had come by earlier that evening (Figgsy had planned to do it that day because she’d be at a friend’s house) wanting to tell Figgsy something, and ended up getting caught in the fire and dying from the severe burns she sustained. Figgsy’s reaction when he sees her die and his state of grief afterwards makes it clear he deeply regrets what happened, not even being sure whether it was worth it]].

Matters around town are complicated when one of its members is involved in a questionable off-duty shooting and goes missing. It doesn't take long for [[InternalAffairs internal affairs]] to come sniffing around in the form of Moe Tilden (De Niro), who thanks to [[JurisdictionFriction jurisdiction]] must rely almost entirely on Heflin for his investigation to bear any fruit. Consequently, Heflin finds himself pulled in multiple directions, as more facts about the case--and about the town itself--begin rising to the surface.
