Lucy Chen is just your typical police officer-until motherhood lands unexpectedly in her lap.
Clara, a quiet teen shaped by trauma and loss, isn't looking for connection. Tamara, her older sister, is fiercely independent and used to surviving on her own.
But as the three of them are thrown together, their journey becomes one of healing, chaos, and learning what it truly means to be a family.
Because after all "Being family isn't always about blood. It's about who shows up and stays."
Follow along this journey with Clara and other fellow rookie characters!

What starts as harmless fun turns into a slow-burning fire neither of them expected.
When Lucy dares Tim to steal Smitty's donut, it kicks off a string of playful challenges between them-everything from prank calls to ridiculous uniforms and flirty games on patrol. The whole precinct watches the escalating dares like it's their favorite show, complete with bets and running commentary (Celina might be their biggest shipper).
But what begins as innocent teasing quickly grows more personal-and more dangerous to their hearts. The dares start cutting close, emotions rise, and the line between friendship and something more begins to blur.
One wall pin, one whispered confession, and one final dare will change everything.
Because the biggest risk of all... is falling in love.
