Three complete episodes on one DVD:
Episode One: Saints and Soldiers
New Orleans
A detective investigates a murder scene in the middle of a desolate field. He walks up to a car with a high-powered flashlight and sends a radio transmission, “They torched him after they shot him”. Barely discernible in the darkness and smoke is a human figure, but there is something very, very wrong with it. The detective is Sergeant Addie Fanguy who says “some of the things I’ve seen through my career, it’s hard to believe that a person could do that to another person”. He is the chief homicide investigator in New Orleans’ Fifth Police District with a passion for cracking cases and digging out the truth. But this won’t be easy.
Episode Two: Highland Homicide
San Francisco
A brutal stabbing has just been called in to San Francisco’s 911 dispatch center. Outside her garden apartment, a woman lies bleeding to death from a dozen stab wounds. The walls of her apartment are awash with blood. In cop speak, it’s a “187” –- a homicide. Two of San Francisco’s finest are called to the scene. Investigator Holly Pera represents police work’s modern face. The first female homicide inspector in San Francisco history, she’s comfortable with new crime-fighting techniques and technologies, and knows just how to apply them to a case like this. Her partner, Joe “Tombstone” Toomey is a bit more of a skeptic; for him, old-fashioned police instincts are still the best resource. Holly and Joe make their case, using both high-tech innovations and good old-fashioned police work.
Episode Three: Double Lives
Phoenix
Four shots ring through the night, and two men are seen running from the second floor apartment that is home to three generations of the Chase family. The end result is the gruesome deaths of sixty-one year old James Chase and his thirty-seven year old daughter, Cristi. At almost two in the morning, rookie homicide detective Kathi Galbari is just beginning her day. This will be Kathi’s first full investigation. Detectives Steve Orona and Ernest Moreno are veterans of the Phoenix Homicide team. A sunny Sunday morning finds them in a deserted back parking lot of a department store, with an unidentified male body wrapped in several tarps in an advancing stage of decomposition. It is clear that the cause of death was a blast from a shotgun.
