For rookie Almaden Police Officer Derek Cooper, his first shift riding solo is like any other: micromanagement from his superiors, petty offenses, and the constant challenge of balancing compassionate service with aggressive authority. Worlds collide when Derek takes interest in a struggling single mom on the same day that a pair of career criminals set up shop in the quiet town. As the sun sets on Almaden, the young officer finds that his every action has an effect on the community he protects: a place where nothing, even Derek himself, is quite what it seems.
