No one in the L.A. Police Department enjoys working the night shift. Detective Ballard doesn’t either – and she’s not doing it voluntarily. After the young woman dared to accuse her superior of sexual harassment, she was reassigned to the Late Show, where every case must be filed at the end of the shift. For an ambitious and talented investigator like René, this is particularly tough. Even though she tries to clear her mind during the day while stand-up paddling at Venice Beach, she simply can’t forget two cases: a young woman was found half-dead on Santa Monica Boulevard, and on the same night, a man shot five people in a club. René begins to investigate on her own. During the day. When the blazing sun over L.A. makes the city’s dark sides seem as dark as the deepest night.
