A school teacher in a comfortable neighbourhood has a dream about her policeman brother being shot to death in pursuit of a criminal. Upon waking, she learns that somehow her dream actually happened in real life. Distraught and frustrated by the police’s apparent inability to bring the perpetrator to justice, she leaves her plum position to take a most difficult job in the neighbourhood in which her brother was killed. She believes that by becoming part of the community she will be able to root out the killer. She does not count on the challenges of the job and the way of life of the people her brother served behind the badge.
