The cops of Hollywood Station are still over-worked, under-staffed and constantly amazed by what the boulevards can throw at them. Frustrated, Nate Weiss leaves the mid-watch to become a Crow, or Community Relations Officer. These are the guys dealing with domestic disputes, busting stalkers and loons of all varieties. It should be easy - to the other cops it's 'the sissy beat'. So when Nate and fellow crow Bix Rumstead find themselves caught up with bombshell Margot Aziz, they think they're just having some fun. To them, Margot is a harmless hill bunny, stuck in the middle of an ugly divorce from a nefarious strip-club-owner. But Margot's no helpless victim: the femme fatale is setting them up so she can pull off the perfect murder and walk away with her ex-husband's ill-won fortune. But Margot isn't the only one with a plan.
