A woman enters a politician's office telling him that she's stumbled upon some evidence linking the company she works for to bribery within Chicago's political scene. Soon, she is killed. Well, apparently she was smart enough to know a bribe when she sees one, but not quite clever enough to realize that you do not report bribery to the very people who may well be the people accepting those bribes.
After this fatal mistake, the superintendent of the Chicago police (Beals) assigns Detective Wysocki (Clarke), a tough guy with a history of scaring off his partners and sleeping with his ex-wife while being engaged to another woman, to investigate the murder and help her expose the corruption in her city.
It me amazes me how flexible the superintendent's schedule is. She has the time to visit crime scenes, gangsters and the like in a city big enough to drown her in administrative duties. Well, perhaps she has delegated all her actual responsibilities to someone else.
Meanwhile, a bunch of irrelevant, lifeless characters dance around the case. Detective Wysocki's niece may or may not be falling for her partner, who may or may not be a douche-bag. Detective Caleb Evers (Lauria) sees things others don't and knows how to work with Det. Wysocki, which very well may be an actual miracle, considering Wysocki's track-record.
When all is said and done, we can be sure that these cops will do anything to bring down the corruption in the city. They also manage to bring interest in the show's storyline to a screeching halt, but perhaps its a problem one can fix, but I have a feeling it will require more than a few good bullets.
