Premise
The series follows two detectives in their early 40s: Sam Wazowski, an uptight and by-the-book guns and gangs detective, and Kelly Duff, a streetwise narcotics detective. Both are ambitious and accomplished in their own way, excelling at work while struggling with their personal lives. They drive one another crazy, but also appreciate each other's strengths, and somehow manage to work together.
