With just a few hours remaining before the dawn of a new year, Detroit’s oldest police station, Precinct 13, is set to close its doors permanently. A minimal team of officers is on duty for the New Year’s Eve shift, which includes the troubled Sergeant Jake Roenick (played by Ethan Hawke), seasoned officer Jasper (portrayed by Brian Dennehy), secretary Iris (acted by Drea De Matteo), and the psychiatrist Alex (played by Maria Bello).
