Detroit 1-8-7 Show Summary

What does it take to be a detective on America's most dangerous streets? Get ready to be part of the action when a documentary crew rolls with some of Detroit's finest, offering an insider's glimpse behind the curtain of a Homicide Unit. The cameras unearth the crisis and revelation, heartbreak and heroism of these inner city cops-moments of raw exposure when they address us directly, as well as private moments when they forget they're being filmed.

There's the damaged but driven Detective Louis Fitch, a wily hugging vet who is the most respected-and most misunderstood-man in the division; Detective Damon Washington, Fitch's new partner, who finds the first day on the job is a trial by fire, complicated by the imminent birth of his first child; Detective Ariana Sanchez, sexy, edgy and beautiful, who has emerged from a rough background to become a rising star in the department.
