This collaboration will not only involve love, hate, and tension, but it will also push past traditional boundaries to solve cold cases and capture criminals, creating a unique battleground. Through sacrifice, determination, and the complexities of human nature, these passionate individuals from both sides of the law will showcase the best and worst of humanity, unfolding one captivating story after another.
