Grace Hanadarko, an Oklahoma City police detective who has spiraled along a path of self-destruction. Distraught, Grace asks for help and it arrives in the form of an angel named Earl. Earl offers to help Grace get back on track with her life. As far as she has strayed off path, it won't be easy for Grace to turn her life around.

Passionate in her job, Grace investigates homicides and other major crimes with the fellow officers in her squad, including Ham Dewey (Kenny Johnson), Butch Ada (Chase), Bobby Stillwater (Gregory Cruz), and Captain Kate Perry (Lorraine Toussaint).

Off the job Grace drinks heavily, engages in numerous one-night stands and casual encounters with men, and is having an affair with her police partner, Ham. Aside from her faults, Grace is an extraordinarily loving and generous person to those around her. In particular she loves her young nephew, Clay (Dylan Minnette), and devotes a great deal of her time to him.
