Walter and Hume, roommates in a veterans home, are complete opposites. Walter is a sarcastic wise mouth who loves to speak his mind. Hume is meticulous and quiet but loves to wind Walter up. Tired of being poked, prodded, and placated with pills by the nursing staff, the two escape. Determined to end their lives in quiet dignity, they load their weapons and hail a cab to a remote wooded area.

The exploits of a group of men and women who serve the City of New York as police officers, firemen, and paramedics, all working the same fictional 55th precinct during the 3pm to 11pm shift - the 'Third Watch'.
