synopsis
Given an ultimatum by his wife to have a second child or see their marriage dissolved, Detective Tom Black's life becomes a depressive cycle of alimony and rehab payments for his firstborn as his crooked partner makes life on the job a living hell. Left alone in the world with no one to count on except for himself, the put upon policeman does his best to find a measure of humor in his dire situation while realizing that if it's not happening at home, it's not happening anywhere.
