Normal Summary

Minnesota Nice, Midwest Mean The story centers on Ulysses (Bob Odenkirk), an unexceptional and level-headed lawman who arrives in the fictional, snowy town of Normal, Minnesota, to serve as the interim sheriff. Hoping for a “welcome respite” from his fractured personal life and marital woes, Ulysses initially enjoys the quiet pace of the community. However, he quickly notices that the locals are a bit too “Minnesota Nice”—disguising a “dark secret” behind their polite smiles. The “dark realities” of the town are exposed during a botched bank robbery, where Ulysses realizes that the police armory is stocked with C4 and assault rifles, and that the town is hiding millions in Yakuza gold to maintain its prosperity.
