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.

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