Jake Smith is back. After his firing from the San Diego Police Department as a seasoned detective, he is starting his life over at the bottom in the Fayetteville, Arkansas force. As a rookie patrol officer, Smith receives the crappiest assignments and ends up on the local university campus in the midst of anti-war riots, drugs, and murder. The move certainly was not good for our man. He struggles on the job, makes too many enemies and finding love does not come easy. You will not be able to turn pages fast enough to keep up with the action.
