In this comedic, fish-out-of-water tale, The Guard is about a lot of things: murder, blackmail, drug trafficking and rural police corruption. Sergeant Gerry Boyle (Brendan Gleason) is an eccentric small-town cop with a confrontational and crass personality and a subversive sense of humor. A longtime policeman in County Galway, Boyle is a maverick with his own moral code. He has seen enough of the world to know there isn't much to it and has had plenty of time to think about it. When a fellow police officer disappears and Boyle's small town becomes key to a large drug trafficking investigation, he is forced to at least feign interest when he and the humorless, straitlaced Agent Everett (Don Cheadle) are assigned to take on an international drug-smuggling gang.
