Set against the backdrop of the protest era of the 1970s, an idealistic Brown University graduate, Steve Logan, postpones law school to be near his girlfriend, Roxy Fisher. 

Steve takes a job in Providence as a police officer. When he discovers corruption in the department, his determination to overturn the system holds unexpected consequences for his own life.

Wild World captures the conflicting dynamics of the era while offering a human experience that is as real today as it was then.
