For her shakedown assignment with the Metro Division, Novak (Lauren Lane) investigates a series of bar burglaries. Unfortunately a flu epidemic has severely depleted the Division's manpower, which explains why Novak's "field partner" is nerdish computer expert Hawkins (Gregory Alan-Williams). And where's Hunter (Fred Dryer)? He's off on a mission of his own, racing against a ruthless bounty hunter (Brion James) to locate a missing murder witness. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
