Description

Fulton County, Georgia, the birthplace of the Civil Rights movement and home of some of the wealthiest and most influential African Americans in the areas of politics, religion, and entertainment in the country. Another election year looms where the voters in Fulton County decide to take a chance on a new candidate, Jack Turner, a retired federal agent whose goal was to change Fulton County Sheriff's Department into a symbol of justice for the nation. To do that, Turner must pick the best, most diverse command staff to fulfill his vision. One such Commander, Vernon Sommers, is a local law enforcement officer who jumps at the opportunity to work for positive change in his home city. But in order to fulfill the new sheriff's vision, the new command staff must deal with the internal and external issues that has plagued the department for years. Unfortunately, many of his fellow officers in brown and blue want the status quo and Vernon must pay the price.
