Een recherche team van het 21ste politiedistrict doet zijn uiterste best om de overvloed aan zaken op te lossen. We volgen de levens van de corrupte Arthur, een meisje wiens liefde onbeantwoord blijft, twee gevaarlijke inbrekers, een winkeldief en de meedogenloze detective Jim.
Nee, helaas is Detective Story nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
