Crystal Meth Cowboys

The city of Wislow sits on the frayed elbow of central California, sealed off from the world by mountains and sea. Rookie Wes Lyedecker begins his first day as a cop there, brimming with the desire to 'make a difference.' His comically cynical training officer, Thomas Bell, is unimpressed with the rookie's idealism. The cops confront a berserk biker in a motel room. The man is amped out of his skull on crystal meth. This bloody confrontation propels the cops down a twisted path. Wes Lyedecker learns lessons they never taught in the Academy as the two cops battle shadowy Sinoloan drug lords, as well as the Chief of Police, the Mayor and Wislow's largest employer, in their quest to find the source of the uncut methamphetamine that is tearing their town apart. The two cops finally track down the heavily-armed drug dealers and their lab. Wes Lydecker, against Bell's strict admonition, chooses to share evidence with a civilian, a very attractive female civilian.
