Crime 360 (Working Title) � Crime 360 is the perfect blend of verit� crime drama and high-tech CGI graphics � a completely new way to experience real-life criminal investigations as they unfold.

Jefferson Parish, Louisiana is a place where crime is rising fast and with the town in need of protection, Sheriff Harry Lee must call upon The Rookies. As they leave the academy, the rookies begin a 12-week street patrol, riding shotgun with a Field Training Officer (FTO).

Now strapped for cash, Thomas is setting off on a cross-county tattoo tour to support his art and his growing family.
