Tired of the same old handcuffs and Miranda rights? Get ready for a police procedural that goes way off script! In the sleepy, seemingly wholesome town of Pleasure Creek, Sheriff Rusty Jenkins wasn't just upholding the law; he was bending it. Especially when a new, attractive "performer" rolled into town with the visiting circus. His policy? If you caught his eye, you caught his attention.
