BON COP, BAD COP

Martin Ward and David Bouchard couldn't be more different: one speaks English and is from Toronto, the other speaks French and is from Montreal. One is neat, the other’s a mess; one is working class, the other went to Upper Canada College. One is into health, the other couldn't care less; one presses his own trousers, the other wears jeans; one lives by the rules, the other breaks them.

The only thing they appear to have in common is that they are both cops, albeit cops with totally different styles. Thrown together unwillingly, they are faced with a case whose geographic jurisdiction is as nebulous as the perpetrator’s mysterious motivations. The detectives soon learn they are hunting a serial killer whose targets are linked by this country’s national pastime: hockey.
