Grandsboro Homicide

Grandsboro Homicide

## Synopsis

Sergeant Jenna Carver is a tough-as-nails homicide detective with the Grandsboro Police Department. She is in a longtime relationship with fellow cop, Mike Peterson, who is sixteen years older than her, and the two are parents to a young son, Mikey J. She has two sisters; her older sister, Melanie is a top Assistant District Attorney and a mother of a daughter, Molly; and a younger sister, Brandi who is a crime reporter for the Grandsboro Gazzette and teaches yoga part-time and wants to be an actress. Jenna and Brandi are investigating the murders of the four members of rap group "H2OClick", who were gunned down in a nightclub by two unidentified assailants. The sisters discover there was a witness who fled, and they work to track him down. They are distracted, failing to bond as partners, as Jenna has to deal with the possibility of being pregnant again while Brandi is considering reuniting with an policeman ex-boyfriend in Jenna's division.

Meanwhile, the manager of H2OClick, Antoine Sartain, has his head of security eliminate the two hitmen, who he had hired to kill H2OClick, and earlier a rapper named Klepto that Sartain also managed.

Jenna believe the murders are gang-related, but when Brandi happens to see the bodies of the hitmen at the morgue, she realizes that the murders were orchestrated and notices the similarities that tie the H2OClick and Klepto homicides together. She believes that someone is killing Sartain's rappers. Jenna learns from an undercover officer that the songwriter for H2OClick, a man named K-Ro, has gone missing, leading the sisters to believe he is their murder witness. They struggle to track down K-Ro until they finally learn his real name, Oliver Robideaux, the son of former Motown singer Olivia Robideaux.

Meanwhile, Internal Affairs Lieutenant Bernard "Bennie" Macko arrives at the station. Macko and Jenna have a bad history, as she embarrassed Macko after proving him wrong on a case years ago. The animosity is compounded by the fact that Gavilan's latest love interest, a psychic named Ruby, used to date Macko. Macko is intent on ruining Gavilan, going so far as to try to frame him and place both detectives in interrogation. Instead, it only serves to help Jenna and Brandi strengthen their relationship. Jenna offers to help Brandi with the case of Trevor Parker's cousin's death; Parker's cousin, a fellow cop had been gunned down during a sting operation gone wrong, with his partner, Officer Leroy Wasley, being implicated but eventually released due to lack of evidence.

The Carver sisters track down K-Ro to his home, where Olivia professes her son's innocence and that manager Sartain was the real culprit. Sartain had been embezzling money from Klepto, H2OClick and other clients for years. Klepto and H2OClick discovered this and threatened to hire lawyers to nullify their contracts, which led Sartain to have his head of security hire the hitmen to kill them as a "lesson" to all his clients. It also turns out that Wasley, who was implicated in Parker's cousin's death and cleared, is Sartain's security chief, and that Macko is also in league with him.

When the girls can't locate Sartain and Wasley, Gavilan enlists the help of Ruby. She uses her psychic power to lead the two women to a clothing store. Just then, Sartain and Wasley happened to drive by, and Jenna and Brandi follow in a wild car chase. The chase ends with the Jenna, Brandi, Parker, Sartain, and Walsey on foot, with the two sisters chasing the two culprits in different directions. Sartain takes Melanie hostage, when she was on her way to pick her daughter up from school. When Jenna struggles with Sartain, Sartain ends up falling from the top of a building to his death. Jenna rescues Melanie, who was handcuffed to a pole. Wasley has drawn a gun on both Brandi and Parker and loudly brags about having killed Parker's cousin. Brandi utilizes her acting skills to distract Wasley and uses her martial artst skills on him, while Parker incapacitates him, and reveals Brandi had a tape recorder on the whole time. The three Carver sisters reunite as LAPD officers swarm the scene, but Macko appears and calls for Jenna's arrest. Instead, Macko is arrested for his part in helping to cover up Sartain and Wasley's crimes. Brandi shoots a photo of Macko's arrest, with excitement that an IA Officer's arrest in a cover-up, connecting him to the murders of a rapper and a rap group would make the front page of the Grandsboro Gazette.

The sisters, along with their policemen boyfriends; Mike, Parker, and Kevin Barrett (Jenna's lieutenant), are having dinner with their mother, uncle Vince, and Melanie's daughter, Molly. However, Jenna receives a call from police headquarters and leave in the middle of the dinner. Brandi is called by the Gazette to get a story on a homicide. Evelyn, the mother, is dismayed that her daughters are on call to homicides, but is happy that her girls are spending time together.
