Week #1 Show Teaser

Synopsis

Two cops - mother and son - are stuck together on a stakeout.

Marsh is a jaded veteran, worn down by her career, now content with the placid lifestyle of stakeout duty. Her son Esteban is an over-confident rookie who just wants get out there and be a good cop and do some good copping. Confined to their vehicle for hours on end, the problematic history of their relationship festers, driving each of them over the edge.

Their mind-numbing boredom is further enlivened by encounters with their pestering supervisor and various cameo-friendly pedestrians.

Stakes takes on themes of family, feminism and authority with a light absurdist touch.
