It is spring, 2006. Three months ago Detective Sgt. Noah Harkham lost his partner - and mentor - Detective Sgt. Rob Meares to a sudden, tragic death in the midst of their investigation into a pair of brutal murders. Now, with the case gone cold and Noah grieving, he gets the news he's been dreading: he's been assigned a new partner, Detective Alan Franks.
On their first day, the pair get put on a hit and run that left one young girl dead and two families forever altered. When a witness leads them to a member of one of the city's most powerful families, the two must put aside their differences to close the case - and keep their star witness alive.
