Spoilers ahead
In the imaginary town of Garrison, New Jersey, nestled just across the Hudson River from New York City and near the George Washington Bridge, many residents are part of the NYPD. Among them, local sheriff Freddy Heflin (Sylvester Stallone) harbors a secret love for Liz Randone (portrayed by Annabella Sciorra), whom he saved from a horrific car accident—a heroic act that cost him the hearing in one ear and ultimately barred him from becoming a New York City cop, unlike his peers, including Liz’s abusive husband Joey Randone (played by Peter Berg).
