LAPD detective Wes Kennedy (Robert Desiderio) had to raise two problematic teenage kids alone after his wife, Susan, was murdered while he was in action on a SWAT team.
Between shots of Kennedy being a bit over-zealous in memory of his wife (there were lots of flashbacks and dream sequences), he tried to rekindle a relationship with the kids – 14-year-old Robin (Christina Applegate, who would achieve greater fame in Married . . . With Children) and 15-year-old Kevin (Jonathan Ward) – who blamed him for their mother’s death.
Wes met the mother of a crazed 11-year-old, and, for a while, there was a chance of romance until she dropped him because he had to testify against her kid for shooting someone.
He appealed to his own kids to reciprocate some of the love he gave them and explained that, dammit, being a cop was important because there were people out there dying.
Ultimately, the kids showed their forgiveness by cooking him a meal.
Ed Van Duzer (Dick Anthony Williams) was Wes’s watch commander, and Sergeant Halui (Branscombe Richmond) was a Hawaiian by birth cop who called everyone “Brother”.
