A week after one of Detective Mandy Santos's police officers allegedly shot and killed a black man for "simply being black," Christine Roberts, Mandy's girlfriend's adopted sister, argues with Mandy Santos about whether the officer's actions were an act of brutality or completely justifiable. Less than an hour after the argument, Christine, as a crisis negotiator, and Ashtyn Datcher, her adoptive sister and fellow crisis negotiator, witness an act of brutality from another one of Mandy's officers against a black man. Due to the darkness, Christine was the only person able to see everything clearly. Chris and Ash must confront Mandy about the situation. Mandy knows what she has to do about the officer who committed such horrid acts, but the courage it takes to correctly handle the situation is difficult to acquire, especially with most of the country watching her every move.
