LAPD Hollywood division officer Ashley Ruth has successfully managed to attain her goal; to graduate from the very tough Los Angeles Police Academy. She has now just realized her second goal; making it through her one year probationary period as a rookie cop. But through all this nothing had prepared her for the wild-ride she was about to take as a Hollywood beat cop.

She steadfastly refused to become just another one of its victims, another dead cop and in the process became an unlikely department hero.

“We’re going to use nine megaton warheads in space and we’re not sure they’re large enough to be effective. Why would you even consider using kiloton-range surface-to-air warheads as back-up?” The answer was succinct. “Because they’re all we have.”
