On her first day as a police officer, rookie Christine Paley gets an indication of just how rough the job will be. Assigned to process all the new arrests, Christine confronts a gallery of people from all walks of life. And each one has a story to tell -- sometimes funny, sometimes tragic, sometimes both. Among the suspects are Tom Harris, a young man whose drunk driving has caused the death of a little girl, and Nicole Savita, an HIV+ teacher who attacked her bosses after they fired her for her illness. Although Christine seems different than the other cops (she's a "health nut" who doesn't eat donuts), her tough lieutenant soon starts to sense that the new officer may just have what it takes to do the job.
