Fred Heflin is the sheriff of a small New Jersey town occupied mostly
by Police Officers from New York City. More than anything, Freddie wants
to be an NYPD cop, but he can't because he's deaf in one ear. One day,
Mo Tilden of NYPD Internal Affairs pays Freddie a visit to tell him he's
investigating his sleepy little town of New York police officers, his "Cop
Land." He asks Freddie for help, but Freddie is friends with his cop-heroes
and doesn't believe they're dirty. This is a film about that group of cops
who have created their own little world where they make the rules and a
somewhat slow-witted, unambitious man's awakening to the truth and his
duty.
