 Nicholas Angel is the finest cop London has to offer, with an arrest record 400% higher than any other officer on the force. He s so good, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, Angel s superiors send him to a place where his talents won t be quite so embarrassing - the sleepy and seemingly crime-free village of Sandford. Once there, he is partnered with the well-meaning but overeager police officer Danny Butterman. The son of amiable Police Chief Frank Butterman, Danny is a huge action movie fan and believes his new big-city partner might just be a real-life "bad boy," and his chance to experience the life of gunfights and car chases he so longs for. Angel is quick to dismiss this as childish fantasy and Danny s puppy-like enthusiasm only adds to Angel s growing frustration. However, as a series of grisly accidents rocks the village, Angel is convinced that Sandford is not what it seems and as the intrigue deepens, Danny s dreams of explosive, high-octane, car-chasing, gunfighting, all-out action seem more and more like a reality. It s time for these small-town cops to break out some big-city justice.
