Premise
Set in Los Angeles, Ballard follows Detective Renée Ballard as she takes command of the LAPD's newly formed Cold Case Division. Staffed primarily by volunteers and under-resourced, the unit is tasked with solving decades-old homicides. As Ballard reopens long-dormant investigations, she uncovers a web of corruption and cover-ups that reach deep into the police department itself. The series blends episodic cold-case mysteries with a season-long serialized arc involving a mysterious conspiracy.
