Wetlands « Movie from 2017

Babel “Babs” Johnson (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) is a police detective who finds himself assigned to a precinct in the Wetlands, the no-man’s land surrounding Atlantic City, within eyeshot of the fancy hotels and boardwalk, but a world away.

With a new partner, a fun-loving gambling addict named Paddy Sheehan (Christopher MacDonald), Babs adjusts slowly back to life on the beat. A year ago, he was a top cop in Philadelphia, but a secret drug problem and connections to a murdered dealer landed him in rehab.

Now sober, he’s eager to try to connect with his pre-teen daughter, Amy (Celeste O’Connor), which means dealing with his still-bitter ex, Savannah (Heather Graham).
