Brie's a cop. She's a hard worker and determined to prove that she is as good as anyone else. As a fledgeling detective she lands a job in Seattle to work on her first murder case. Her enthusiasm drops, however, when she meets her new partner.
James is no rookie and he knows that. He's one of the best investigators in the country and his job is all he cares about. He doesn't give a shit if people like him or not. Constantly hungover, with some serious trust issues and a clear animosity towards strangers, he couldn't be more displeased when he's forced to take a newcomer under his wings.
When the case they're working on turns to be more complicated than they assumed, they have to learn how to work together and trust each other. A difficult relationship between these two ignites feelings and emotions which in their job have no right to see the light of the day.
