Turner Hahn and Frank Morales, two detectives with the Southside Division, have been called in to solve four homicides. The first involves a dead college professor – and 6,000 of his students are suspects. The second includes a dead farm girl, a dead gigolo, and a grieving housewife. In the third, there is a jewel thief who likes to play with big caliber guns. And the fourth involves a drug-addicted hoodlum with a killer's mind who wants to change the world. Just another day in the life of the Detective Sergeants, but can Turner and Frank solve the crimes before it's too late?
