As long as Green can win over Valance—and not get himself or anyone else killed—he just might make it through his rookie year …If you’re hungry for a heaping pile of police procedural with a sloppy side of paranormal creatures and a sprinkle of vulgar jokes, buy Shift Work to satisfy your unhealthy cravings.
