Summary
Tim Bradford has turned dozens of rookies into elite cops. But when he turns down a sergeant promotion to continue training Lucy Chen, the lines between mentor and student begin to blur. Under the guise of a specialized training program - just the two of them, 6 a.m. at a private gym - he convinces everyone (especially himself) that he's just making her exceptional. Professional. Controlled. Perfect.
What Tim hasn't learned yet: some lessons can't be taught, and some feelings refuse to follow protocol.
