The concept is as follows: Setting is a rowdy , gritty Cop Bar, set somewhere in North Jersey or the outer boroughs of NYC.(Doesn't have to be, could be Detroit). Guy ends up there who is not a cop.. wrong place, wrong time kind of thing.. you get the gist. Gets into a tangle with the Alpha Cop over the only pretty girl in the bar.. resulting in a raucous beer throwing, moshpit culmination. Felini-esque in terms of non-cop characters. All kinds of off duty cop shenanigans going on..ie envelopes changing hands with on-the-take money etc..Probably 50 extras or so.
