Grounded drama and comic insanity merge in this detective show set in New York City, where every day on the beat could be your last. Overloaded with bullets and bodies after being transferred from Vice to NYPD's Homicide Unit, Detective Casey Shraeger (Amber Tamblyn) discovers that everyone in the force has their fair share of secrets. Her new partner is Detective John Walsh (Jeremy Renner), and her first assignment is to investigate the recent death of Walsh's former partner. Joining Detectives Shraeger and Walsh in solving New York City's most difficult crimes is Detective Eddie Adams (Kai Lennox), a social-climbing prank magnet taken to stealing cases he thinks will get him in the newspaper, and partners Eric Delahoy (Adam Goldberg) and Leo Banks (Harold Perrineau), the former determined to get himself killed on duty and the latter so cautious that he never sheds his bulletproof vest. Meanwhile, devoutly religious Detective Harry Cole (Josh Close) struggles to keep his past hidden from both his intuitive partner Allison Beaumont (Monique Gabriela Curnen), and crusading Sgt Brown (Terry Kinney), who refuses to rest until the 2nd precinct is free from corruption.
