County Line follows Alden Rockwell, a former sheriff played by Tom Wopat.

[3] Following his death an investigation is opened by Grant Goodeve's character, Sheriff Preston.

The investigation fails to follow any logical route and ultimately results in the case going cold, with some suggesting Sheriff Preston is turning a blind eye to the murder.

[3] Alden refuses to accept that the death of his friend and fellow sheriff cannot be solved, and takes matters into his own hands.

Tom Wopat reprised his leading role as Alden Rockwell in both films.
