Detective Russ Agnew is tired of the Battle Creek Police Department being treated badly. Either budget cuts (the view of the Brass) or unwise spending (the view of Agnew) force BCPD to operate in the Dark Ages without any of modern equipment and technology they need. Enter Milt Chamberlain, a tall, dark and seemingly idealistic FBI agent, born in Monaco and better politically connected than the late J. Edgar Hoover. Their styles are totally different but they share a single goal: to solve cases. Their very first crime scene together has BCPD crew donning fancy shoe covers and gloves, which are high tech to the BCPD team. Murder, witness protection and good, old fashioned detective work will solve the case if Agnew can keep his envy of Chamberlain in check and Chamberlain is not as trusting and naive as he appears to be.

Fontenelle has an amazingly gifted brain when it comes to face spotting. Font is so good, he recognized Guziewicz's cousin's female cousin from the opposite side of Joe Louis Arena at a Kiss concert while she was wearing Starchild makeup. When Font says he saw an FBI most wanted fugitive from a 4 second glance through 2 traveling vehicles, Russ and Guziewicz believe him.
