CTV Episode Synopsis (short):
When beat cop Frank Leo becomes fed up with the corrupt police brass, he leads a walkout strike and makes himself a target as a renegade union rep.

CTV Episode Synopsis (long):
In the special two-hour series premiere (Friday, March 5 at 9 p.m. ET), beat cop Frank Leo is fed up. Bridge Division is understaffed, and good cops are being blamed for a spate of mysterious drug rip-offs. Then Frank’s mentor, framed by the corrupt police brass, commits suicide. When Frank realizes the brass won’t give his mentor a police funeral, it’s the last straw. He leads a walkout strike, putting his career and the careers of his entire division on the line. Then, when Frank and his fellow officers are blamed for an act of “Contagious Fire”, the brass sees the perfect opportunity to get rid of Frank once and for all. Frank realizes that in order to save himself and change things, he must take over the reigns of the Police Union. He soon finds himself thrust into a treacherous world of politics, intrigue and violence. And just as he’s become head of the Police Union, Frank is forced to make a critical decision that could ultimately bring him down.

CBS Episode Synopsis:
When dedicated street cop Frank Leo (Aaron Douglas) learns that there will be no police funeral for his fallen training officer and that his fellow officers are being railroaded for using excessive force, he stages a walkout. Motivated by the pressure of “the brass” who want to bring him down, Frank becomes the head of the police union and fights to bring more protection to the cops on the street; however, unbeknownst to Frank, another fellow officer is involved in a series of drug-deal rip-offs, on the two-hour series premiere of THE BRIDGE, Saturday, July 10 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

CBS Episode Recap:
Police Officer Frank Leo works Bridge Division — a precinct that encompasses the richest and poorest neighborhoods in the city. He’s a dedicated street cop, who inadvertently gets involved in police politics when his training officer dies and there won’t be a police funeral. Frank rallies his fellow officers and upsets the “brass” when he stages an unofficial police funeral. They bug his house. His political agenda gets furthered when fellow officers are being railroaded by the police board with charges of excessive force and he decides to stage a walkout. Unbeknownst to Frank, a colleague of his, Mike, is involved in a series of drug dealer rip-offs. So far, the police department is aware that uniforms are missing, but has no idea what they’re being used for.

Frank negotiates a settlement to the walkout with Police Chief Wycoff, but he’s made himself a target for other members of the “Brass”, who want him gone. When a suspect dies in a gun fight after a police chase, they believe they’ve got leverage to bring Frank down. They send in a fellow officer, wired to ask him questions. They also accuse him of the drug rip-offs. Galvanized by this pressure, Frank becomes the head of the police union and fights to bring more protection to the cops on the street. Unfortunately Chief Wycoff brings him his first major decision: they’ve identified Mike as the cop leading the drug dealer rip-offs and have tape of him saying to kill other cops if they get in the way. Frank must give permission for them to use lethal force to bring Mike in. Frank has no choice but to give the order, however, works to find a better solution. As he heads home, Frank’s fellow cop, Ross, shows up – he’s accidentally killed his wife and needs Frank’s help.
