In Judgement County, Texas, a rookie cop gets the ultimate test when an APB for a child killer fits the general description of a man he stops for speeding. By day's end, his boss, the sheriff, is out of reach, a power outage blocks him from checking the suspect's identity or getting a better description of the wanted man, and the town has become a mob set on vengeance. Race complicates things slightly (the suspect is Black, the cop and most townsfolk are White), as does the brotherhood of war (one's a Vietnam vet, the other Desert Storm). Our rookie is used to applying his boss's pithy sayings to situations he's in, but in this case, he may need to make his own judgment.
