Plot Summary: Lieutenant James Dempsey was a tough New York cop who got himself into a lot of trouble by killing his partner during a corruption investigation in his own Department.
While he's waiting for things to cool down in N.Y, Dempsey was seconded then to London's elite unit SI10, where he was assigned to work with Detective Sergeant Harriet Makepeace, under the supervision of Chief Superintendent Gordon Spikings. Dempsey was her exact opposite, being much more driven and quicker to use violence than his British colleagues.
The immediate antagonism between Dempsey and Makepeace was countered by a strong physical attraction, and while they fought continuously, they made a good, effective team.
