Plot:
While FBI agent Jake Malloy pursues a serial killer who targets police officers, his former partner becomes a victim. At his partner’s home, the killer calls Malloy from Malloy’s home. The killer says Malloy pursued him earlier for a series of prostitute murders; as revenge, he kills Mary, Malloy’s girlfriend. Malloy pursues the killer, only to find that he appears to have committed suicide. Three months later, Malloy descends into alcoholism.
After a suicide attempt, Malloy’s best friend and supervising officer, Agent Chuck Hendricks, enrolls Malloy in a rehabilitation program for law enforcement officers run by Dr. John “Doc” Mitchell, a former cop and recovering alcoholic. Hendricks stays in Wyoming to ensure Malloy will be okay.
Malloy meets several other officers who are patients in the clinic, including Peter Noah, an arrogant and paranoid ex-SWAT officer; Frank Slater, a cynical British police officer; Willie Jones, a religious homicide detective; Jaworski, a
narcotics cop who attempted suicide; Lopez, a foul-mouthed LAPD officer; and McKenzie, an elderly member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who witnessed his partner’s murder. He meets several staff members, including Doc’s assistant and mechanic Hank and compassionate resident psychiatrist and nurse Jenny Munroe, with whom Malloy develops a bond.
