Description
Who’s tougher than tough cops? Their five-foot therapist.
Freshly divorced and in need of cash, Dr. Dot Meyerhoff has taken a job as a police psychologist, even though she’s not quite prepared for the lack of respect throughout the department. Or the irascible police chief. It’s instantly clear that counseling cops isn’t easy, partly because they are uncommunicative and contemptuous of therapy. Yet it’s also obvious that they and their families deal with enormous pain every day.
These guys need help! And Dot’s determined to help them—even if she has to solve their cases herself.
Burying Ben
A floundering young rookie cop steps into Dot’s office. She tries to help him, but after a few sessions, he commits suicide. And when a client commits suicide, people tend to blame the therapist.
Including Dot herself. For her own mental health, she needs to know what happened to this guy.
The Right Wrong Thing
It’s an unfair fight—gun vs. cellphone. A rookie cop shoots an unarmed pregnant teenager in a highly-charged situation. Her fellow officers call it “a good shoot.” But the rookie, a young woman who is still on probation, is racked with guilt and self-doubt. After losing her very first police counseling case to suicide, Dot is working 24/7 not to lose another officer. In a very unconventional way.
The Fifth Reflection
Dot Meyerhoff’s job is to counsel cops. Period. But she understands that the only thing that will bring her client peace is finding the kidnapper. So she’s determined to do it, even if it threatens her own job.
And there’s a disturbing personal issue—her fiancé’s a little too obsessed with the child’s mother—who just might be a whack job.
