When the story begins, she|s immersed in the politics and schemes of one of the most active radical organizations in LA, but after three years on assignment she|s weary of the lifestyle and tired of lying about who she is. Josie wants to “come up,” and do police work with the same opportunities as her male counterparts. Before that can happen, she|s arrested during a demonstration in downtown LA and upon her release from jail is told by her department contact that one of her fellow undercover officers has disappeared, and the case becomes Josie's final undercover assignment.
