Two lawmen find the call of corruption too loud to ignore in the
drama Route 9. Booth Parker (
Kyle MacLachlan) and Earl Whitney (
Wade Williams) are two deputies in a small town who discover a crime scene along a deserted highway. There appears to have been a shoot-out with no living witnesses, and left in the dust by the side of the road are a van filled with illegal drugs and $1 million in cash. Booth and Earl are too weak to resist the urge to take the money, but when a federal agent (
Roma Maffia) arrives to look into the case, they soon discover there's more to the crime than they originally expected. The knots become even more tangled when another sheriff (
Peter Coyote), whose wife has been sleeping with Booth, starts sticking his nose into the case.
