Charlie Hicks

Detective Chief Inspector Charlie Hicks is a committed police officer and family man with a wife, child, and baby on the way. He is balanced, charming, and happy but is also extremely corrupt. But it is not just taking a few bribes that Hicks is involved in. He may be involved in the death of fellow police officer Alex Butler who was also his best friend, and whose wife he is more than a little close with.

Hicks is forced to work with his polar opposite – the incorruptible Detective Inspector Elaine Renko. They do not trust each other, but they have to work together to survive until the end of the world.
