Gerry Boyle (Brendan Gleeson), the detective of County Galway, Dublin, Ireland, cleaned up the endgame of the drug addict's death in a car accident, and ushered in a new agent, McBride, who came to report. They surveyed the crime scene and inferred the type of killer from the evidence. Unfortunately, the two thoughts were very different. Boyle's thinking is extremely paradoxical, making McBride completely useless. They interrogated the suspect together, only to find that he was only a substitute for the dead ghost, and the real murderer was still at large. Although Boyle is cynical, but he is a dutiful son. His mother's deadline is approaching. In order to solve a drug smuggling case worth 500 million in the black market, American FBI agent Wendell (Don Cheadle) began to analyze the case for police officers, but Boyle repeatedly interrupted him, just as his boss wanted Boyle. When expelled, the latter pointed out the biggest loophole in the report-one of the four suspects was already lying in the morgue. This made Wendell admire Boyle, who was joking about racism. McBride was accidentally killed by philosophical gangsters while on duty. His wife came to find her husband, which made Boyle feel very responsible. He and Wendell embarked on a journey of hunting the murderer...

Man With Camera: Didn't you foil a drug-trafficking operation and knock off a trio of drug barons to boot? What's unhappy about that?
FBI agent Wendell Everett: Lost a good man.
Man With Camera: I wouldn't be too sure about that now. I mean, they never recovered a body, did they?
FBI agent Wendell Everett: It's a big sea out there. He's dead. Either burned up or drowned.
Eugene Moloney: But he was a really good swimmer.
FBI agent Wendell Everett: I'm sorry, son, that was just bullshit. He weren't never in the Olympics.
Man With Camera: Maybe so. Sure it's easy enough to look up anyways.
