action

The series shows the police work of the Chicago Police Department, among them local legend Jarek Wysocki, in the fight against crime and corruption in the political machinery of Chicago. Jarek has a lot of influence in the city thanks to his good relationship with Teresa Colvin, as she is not only his former partner, but also the chief of police in Chicago. Together they also want to solve and avenge the murder of Jarek's brother. Also in the department is Wysocki's current partner, a young and ambitious police officer named Caleb Evers. During their investigations, the detectives often meet Jarek's niece Vonda Wysocki, who has just started working for the police, and her partner Isaac Joiner, who is only too happy to take risks.

The undercover agent Chris Collier, acting in his undercover investigation under the name Liam Hennessey, retrieves information about Hugh Killian, the Irish mafia and their connection to corruption. The source of the corruption appears to be a powerful and influential Chicago politician, City Councilor Ronin Gibbons.

characters

Jarek Wysocki
He is a homicide detective in Chicago and is considered a legend there. He hates profanity and loves the White Sox . He and Colvin were partners when they started out as police officers and a close friendship developed between them. In addition to his normal investigations, he is looking for the murderers of his deceased brother, who also worked as a police officer. Jarek is divorced and engaged to a younger woman, but is still intimate with his ex-wife. In addition, he changes his partner every day, because they cannot cope with his fast-paced nature.
Teresa Colvin
She is Chicago's first woman police chief and chief of over ten thousand police officers. She is very ambitious to fearlessly question government officials or fire other officials whom she considers incompetent, even at the risk of making enemies in the department. The corruption in the city has destroyed her parents' business and later her marriage, whereby she has made it her personal task to rid the city of it.
Caleb Evers
He is a young and avid Homicide Detective and Wysocki's current partner. In addition, he is desperately trying to do justice to the legendary Wysocki. He later won over both Wysocki, despite the fact that he was a Cubs fan, and Colvin with his powers of observation.
Vonda Wysocki
She is Jarek's niece and has just graduated from police academy. Her father was killed while doing his job when she was a little girl. She was therefore raised by her uncle, who also supported her in training to become a police officer. As the series progresses, she and Isaac get together.
Isaac Joiner
He is Vonda's partner and a young and ambitious detective. With his way of taking a big risk with his cases in order to close them, Jarek worries about his niece. As the series progresses, he and Vonda get together.
Chris Collier
He is an undercover agent on the homicide squad and currently works under the cover name Liam Hennessey in the Irish mafia as a seedy petty criminal.
Ronin Gibbons
He is a real estate tycoon who has a lot of influence and power in Chicago through his political position as a city councilor. He has been in office for over 20 years, to the delight of some criminals. By getting in the way of Teresa and Jarek in their plan to free the city from corruption, the two see him as the source of this.
