Synopsis

It’s High Noon for the new millennium when a small-town sheriff (Billy Bob Thornton) teams up with a stripper (Patricia Arquette) to investigate a transsexual’s grisly death — only to discover that some of the state’s highest-ranking politicos may be involved. Despite his own homophobia, the sheriff is ostracized by the townsfolk for continuing the investigation. Sela Ward co-stars as Thornton’s ex-wife, the district attorney handling the case.
