While enjoying a sleigh ride with his children, he discovered a car stuck in a snowdrift and an unconscious woman nearby. Kate arrives at his farm and is shocked to discover the driver is a woman she hasn&#8217;t seen in ten years: fellow cop Gina Colorosa.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Ten years ago, Kate and Gina were best friends at the police academy, graduating together as rookies with the Columbus Division of Police. But the reunion takes an ominous turn when Kate learns Gina is wanted for killing an undercover officer. Gina claims she&#8217;s innocent, that she was framed by corrupt officers who want her gone because she was about to turn them in for wrongdoing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Kate calls upon state agent John Tomasetti for help and with a blizzard bearing down, they delve into the incident. But no one wants to talk about what happened the night Gina allegedly gunned down a fellow cop. Even Tomasetti is stonewalled, his superior telling him in no uncertain terms to back off.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>With whisperings of corruption and the threat of rogue cops seeking revenge, Kate and Gina hunker down at Adam Lengacher&#8217;s farm. As Kate gets closer to the truth, a killer lies in wait. When violence strikes, Kate must confront a reality that changes everything she thought she knew not only about friendship, but the institution to which she&#8217;s devoted her life.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>New Movies on the Shelf &#8211; <\/strong>New Movies on the shelf this week are \u201cSinners\u201d starring Michale B.
