The harsh realities of discrimination are always apparent to Detective Rose "Phil" Phillips (Karen Sillas). In addition to coping with the daily pressures of being a detective, she must break down the barrier of crude sexist comments made by her fellow cops and force them to see her as an equal.

Sexy, tough and a good cop, Phil confronts her own feelings about being a woman in a man's world when she finds herself attracted to Internal Affairs Sergeant Jimmy Vitelli (Philip Casnoff), a handsome, arrogant cop on the rise.

Phil's determination, crime-solving skills and feminine perspective make her a compassionate, outstanding detective, but she'll always be Under Suspicion as she struggles to prove that she's just "one of the boys."

The supporting cast includes veteran character actor Seymour Cassell (star of John Cassavetes' Faces and Minnie and Moskowitz) as Captain Mickey Schwartz, Raymond Baker (Hard Rain) as Chief DeSort, Paul McCrane (recently seen in the mini-series, From the Earth to the Moon) as Detective Clarke, Michael Beach (One False Move) as Detective Desmond Beck, and Arabella Field (the 1998 remake of Godzilla) as Patsi Moosekian.
