Aaron is a young cop walking a thin moral tightrope. He spends his days patrolling the streets of his small southern town. He's often alone and finds occasional company in a neighborhood prostitute. Ali is a lonely teenager from a poor neighborhood who deals drugs to make money and pass the time. The two meet and form an awkward relationship as they both know a secret of the other: Aaron knows Ali is dealing drugs, and Ali knows Aaron isn't the 'good cop' he appears to be. When Aaron finds Ali in a compromising situation he realizes hes the only one that can help. Aaron finds himself in a place where his actions will decide the fate of his new friend. How will he act? What will he do? What will he not do?
