"follows veteran cop Grifaldo and his wide-eyed rookie partner Davis as they try a novel approach to beat patrolling: platonic hand-holding while on duty. Tired of his own aggression, Grifaldo sees his new partner assignment as the perfect opportunity to test out a long-held suspicion: that where protecting citizens is concerned, kindness an concern just might work better than brutality and belligerence.
