Two lifelong friends from the Kingsbridge section of the Bronx on their daily grind as NYPD patrol officers. A realistic view of life of the NYPD circa 1999.

In 1999, the Yankees were on top of the world, winning the American League Division Championship and embodying the spirit of teamwork and brotherhood. Against this backdrop, two lifelong friends from the Kingsbridge area of the Bronx navigate their daily routines as NYPD patrol officers. Their story is a gritty slice of life, capturing the essence of found family and friendship. Just as the Yankees relied on each other to achieve greatness, these two officers rely on one another to face the challenges of their demanding jobs. 

Through shared experiences and unwavering support, they epitomize the power of partnership and camaraderie in the bustling streets of New York City.
