Detectives Sarah Linden and Stephen Holder investigate killings that expose the lives behind a city’s most easily ignored disappearances. In the third season, their work brings them into a community of homeless teenagers, where Bullet has learned to meet danger with defiance. Her concern for missing friends and her feelings for Lyric make her more than a witness passing through an investigation. She is a young person trying to protect those she loves while hoping someone will offer the same care in return. The season follows the uncertainty and vulnerability behind her tough exterior, placing a lesbian teenager’s experience within a crime story whose consequences are intensely personal.
