In this original screenplay, Sgt. Janet Lacey is a tall, tough uniformed sheriff's deputy with a reputation for being a regular "Dirty Harriet." Herb Robbins is a short, "bleeding heart" liberal, assistant district attorney, who's just dismissed one of her cases because she didn't have a valid search warrant. And, tonight, she's stuck with him as her "ride along." When a serial killer that Lacey has captured is gunned down while in her custody, her conduct becomes suspect. Later, when the dead man's mother is found murdered, a large amount of cash found on Lacey and a big drug stash discovered in her apartment, a warrant is issued for the officer's arrest. Robbins is the only one who believes that she's innocent, but can he help her?
