They call him the Oracle. He's got forty-six years under his belt and more hash marks than a football field. But more than that, he's got a crew of cops to look out for on the streets of Hollywood. And the streets of Hollywood aren't like any other streets. From his understaffed office at Hollywood Station, he keeps a close eye on his squad. They spend their days in their patrol cars, and their nights in the underbelly of a dangerous city. And as they make their way from the drug dens to dirty street corners, a string of seemingly unrelated events lures the cops of Hollywood Station to their most startling case yet--and reminds them that nothing's too horrific or extreme for Los Angeles.
