Synopsis:

King is a lateral, imaginative thinker whose rare eye for detail gives her a critical edge. And, she's tough. King has survived eight years in Homicide, two marriages and multiple stab wounds. Off duty, King is a wife, a lover and a friend, who struggles with issues of infertility, intimacy and trust and like most women, she can't pass up a good shoe sale.

As a Homicide Detective, Jessica King (Amy Price-Francis) sees things that everyone else misses: in crime scenes, in evidence, in the motivations and drives of the suspects. A fearless and imaginative lateral thinker, her unique eye for detail turns cases around. And she has a rare quality: Jess doesnt need to be liked. That quality gets her into trouble. Almost two years ago, the former Chief of Police sent Jess to the call centre - the Police Service equivalent of Siberia - for an act of gross insubordination. She went public about corruption on the Force. Some of her colleagues havent forgotten, let alone forgiven her. After the shuffle, Jess struggled to accept that the career part of things had run its course. She started thinking about something that she avoided for a long time. Family. A new life. So, Jess dove into a third marriage with fellow officer and Guns and Gangs team member Detective Daniel Sless (Gabriel Hogan). Danny adores Jess. But their rigorous efforts to get pregnant havent panned out so far. And thats putting a strain on things. When Detective Sergeant Derek Spears (Alan Van Sprang) has a public, televised meltdown, Jessica King is called in to lead the Major Crimes Task Force (M.C.T.F.) a police squad that is parachuted in to take over cases in crisis. Murder, rape, robbery, gang violence, serial and predatory crime everythings fair game.The unit takes over cases already in progress and in crisis. A cop or the courts screw up, or another squad drops the ball and Jess and her team have to work fast, take big risks and probably piss some people off to get it back on track. Like Jess, the M.C.T.F. doesn't have many boundaries. Spears is less than gracious about the fact that King is now in charge of what was his unit. He was a good cop once, very good, and he will be again. But, it'll take Jessica King to help him get his mojo back. There's chemistry between them and Jess will be tempted - Spears is a lot like the guys she swore off years ago. Besides, she's determined to make her marriage with Danny work. Colleagues may resent her but Kings fierce intelligence, passion for her job, disarming honesty and wicked sense of humour overrides their doubts.

It's been more than a year since detective Jessica King was demoted to answering phones in emergency response, due to a 'personality difference' between her and her former boss. Now a new captain has taken over the police force, and he puts her back as detective when the investigator of a high-profile case has a breakdown on live television. Impressed by her service record, the captain puts his complete faith in her, but will her new team, and the former head detective, feel the same way?

Eleni Demaris
S1, Ep4 May 8, 2011
Retired PD colleague Eleni Demaris is in coma after one of a serious of violent, ill-considered robberies. Her spoiled-rotten, unruly brat daughter Dawn is supposed to stay with Jessica, but she shamelessly keeps dumping her on 'babysitting' lover Derek. The investigation is her squad's once a victim dies, and leads to junkies and the homeless.

Farah Elliott
S1, Ep5 May 15, 2011
King breaks every rile in the book, exhausting the captain's patience, to vindictively persecute repeat minor sex offender Seymour Keagan, whom she always failed to ail for serious sexual crimes, partially because his slovenly wife provides fake alibis. The same, offspring-devoted Cora seems unwilling to turn on him even when confronted with his latest foxy younger date. With her mother Eleni Demaris finally recovering, Dawn again makes an impossible pest of herself, exhausting Danny by escaping to engage in 'social' drug abuse and thus shattering even Jessica's ...

Ahmad Khan
S1, Ep6 May 22, 2011
Chief Garci reunites Derek Spears, facing another divorce, and King, who feels punished for the Keegan case, as a favor to police board member Dr. Robert Taaffe, to examine the murder on his university's campus of brilliant bio-medical researcher Ahmad Khan. Jeffrey Denmers, the young security guard who found him in the bunny experiment room, was involved in an anti-Muslim incident. However the team finds alternative motives in both the research team and Khan's Iranian family, who arranged a bride while he actually had a gay, adulterous lover.

Cameron Bell
S1, Ep7 May 29, 2011
Danny Sless wrestles with his loyalty to his gang violence squad partner Jim Lowell, who wants his support when an amateur video shows he physically abused an informer, and the truth. He's so furious about King's utterly non-supportive attitude, even nagging on over his alleged gambling problem, that he moves out indefinitely. Meanwhile King's team takes over their fatal shooting investigation, looking for a missing witness trough his kid brother, and finds both a different target and alternative motives.

Scout Winter
S1, Ep8 Jun. 5, 2011
Civil rights blogger Trevor Winter is beaten with a baseball bat in his (trashed) home by a masked man who may well belong to the Neonazi Northern Front, whose local chapter he recently confronted. Their leader Robert Carlson turns out to be an undercover federal detective. Widower Trevor's boy Connor and daughter Scout are placed in their surprisingly well-prepared, estranged maternal grandfather's custody. Danny's upcoming legal procedure keeps causing trouble, as does King's yet undisclosed pregnancy and infidelity with divorced colleague Spears, with only...
