A high-energy action-comedy procedural built on martial arts spectacle and the warmth of an interracial buddy dynamic, where weekly cases reset against a backdrop of personal redemption.

Sammo Law spins, kicks, and chops his way through crime as a one-man police force in Los Angeles. He's a tough law enforcer who comes to the U.S. in search of a former friend and protegée — and gets drafted as part of the LAPD.
