Following the lives of five new and inexperienced police recruits in their mid-20s who trained together and must now learn at first hand the hardest kind of policing there is: as big-city crime-fighters. Andy faces a volatile gunman when the high-risk takedown of a suspect does not go as planned.

The officers assist in an undercover operation involving a suspected supplier of armor-piercing bullets, before taking part in a police-only boxing tournament.

Andy weighs an opportunity to leave town for several months on an undercover project, while Jarvis reveals some shocking news.

During a busy night at the station, the rookies fail to search a prisoner properly and he pulls a gun on Chris. The ensuing investigation by Internal Affairs sees the officers' behaviour scrutinised, and one of their careers could be over. Meanwhile, Andy learns a dark secret about Nick's past.

The Companions are invited to join with a religious order in a ceremony. The group is made up entirely of women and seeks that special spiritual connection with the Taelons that will bring them to an enlightened state.
