This takes quite an amiable look at brief snippets from days in the lives of police officers “Gary” (Andrew Paul) and new rookie “Jenny” (Alexa Morden). From their initial meeting as she struggles to lug a large dog into the back of their patrol car through to him rather paternally dropping her off for a date, we follow their developing relationship.
