A lighthearted buddy-cop comedy that mines humor from the clash between a corrupt detective and a straight-arrow prosecutor forced to work together against a common enemy.

Detective Nick Blades is a New Orleans cop on trial for corruption. Assistant District Attorney Theo Gold is the man in charge of putting him behind bars. When these two unlikely partners from opposite sides of the law stumble onto a criminal plot, they’ll need to rely on luck – and patience – to take down a dangerous killer without killing each other first.
