"Pilot"
Synopsis:
Sabrina Sohal is a star rookie police officer who must grapple with the limits of the justice system as she fights to exonerate her falsely accused politician father, and serve her diverse hometown alongside a veteran training officer who sees her potential but doesn’t always agree with her forward-thinking methods. This is the story of a young woman caught between her allegiance to her flag, to her badge, and to her family. It is about identity and belonging, policing and politics, and finding truth within the heart of a flawed justice system.
Episode Synopsis:
Sabrina Sohal becomes the first woman in a long line of trailblazing Punjabi-Canadians from her family to become a Canadian Federal Police Corps officer. But her world is turned upside down when her father, Ajeet Sohal, the Minister of Public Safety, is wrongfully arrested for treason on the day of her graduation from the country's top police academy. Sabrina must deal with the fallout on her first day as a beat cop when she meets her seasoned but sensitive veteran training officer Vince Brambilla. The two find themselves swept up in a missing child case that could have deadly consequences and just might hint at a darker conspiracy involved in her father's framing.
