The story introduces readers to the daily routines and struggles of New York City transit and street police officers working the second shift out of the fictional or stylized 8th Precinct. Unlike high-stakes superhero battles, the comic highlights the low-key, grounded realities of street crime, such as chasing pickpockets and dealing with the gritty, “mature” elements of the late-1980s metropolitan underworld.
