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.

After escorting an injured criminal to the ER, Sabrina and Vince come across Sage – a young Indigenous woman deeply distraught over having her newborn baby stolen. They quickly learn the baby was taken by a government social worker under suspicious circumstances. Sabrina and Vince face mounting pressure from Sage's outraged family to bring the baby back as she peels away lies within the system of social work and the legacy of atrocities that made this crime possible in the first place... all while trying to find the kidnapper before the baby disappears for good. Max makes a last-ditch gamble to have Ajeet's case dropped as the trial date begins to loom.
