The cops of Hollywood Station are over-worked, under-staffed, bound by red tape, hobbled by political correctness, and constantly amazed by what the boulevards can throw at them. Scratch the surface of the ‘reel’ Hollywood and you’ll discover the ‘real’ Hollywood. Here, Mickey Mouse is a crack addict, Marilyn Monroe is a man and when the moon is full, the neighbourhood gets even weirder. When the legendary Oracle is replaced by Sgt. Jason ‘Chickenlips’ Treakle – a politically correct, paper-shuffling putz with a shiny shoe fetish – Nate ‘Hollywood’ Weiss leaves the mid-watch to become a Crow, or Community Relations Officer (C.R.O.). These are the guys dealing with domestic disputes, busting stalkers, bouncing paparazzi and calming chronic complainers, wannabe cops and loons of all varieties. It should be easy duty – to the other cops it’s ‘the sissie beat’ – but being Hollywood, the loons are not in short supply and not everything is quite at is seems. So when Hollywood Nate and fellow crow Bix Rumstead find themselves caught up with bombshell Margot Aziz, they think they’re just having some fun. To them, Margot is a harmless hill bunny, stuck in the middle of an ugly divorce from a nefarious strip-club-owner. But Margot’s no helpless victim: the femme fatale is setting them up so she can pull off the perfect murder and walk away with her ex-husband’s ill-won fortune. But Margot isn’t the only one with a deadly plan.
