This film chronicles a long-term, cat-and-mouse relationship between a small-town police detective and an accomplished burglar. Both are loners; the detective is widowed and trying to raise a young daughter on his own. Variety said the film's "stellar performances lift [it] from its cop-thief buddy genre and imbue it with a great dose of pathos and humor."
