Life in the Heights is tough. It's even tougher when you're the family of dedicated police officer Eddie Sutton (Russell Hornsby, In Treatment). When Eddie uproots his wife Jenn (Nicki Micheaux) and their three children from their small suburban apartment to the inner-city neighborhood where he grew up, Eddie's dream of home ownership and enacting positive change in a struggling community quickly turn to frustration and doubt that change is even possible. Faced with daily challenges from common thugs, territorial gangs and even their own neighbors and friends, Eddie will stop at nothing to keep his family safe while keeping the peace both at home and on the street of Lincoln Heights.
