## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A working-class buddy flick with too many fedoras tries to make arson fun. When a private eye’s partner takes a header off a roof, the ex-cops reunite to incinerate the local syndicate. Such pyrotechnic goodwill apparently outlives grudges.

**Mood tags**: cozy, playful, raw
