Quick Synopsis

FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn is a disciplined and precise investigator known for her skill and arrogance, while Shannon Mullins is a tough, quick-tempered detective with the Boston Police Department who relies on her instincts and street knowledge to solve cases. Both women have worked alone and have no close relationships. When they are assigned to work together to capture a dangerous drug lord in Boston, their contrasting personalities create tension, but over time they develop an unexpected friendship as they collaborate to bring the criminal to justice.

Detailed Synopsis of The Heat

Uptight and straight-laced, FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn is a methodical investigator with a reputation for excellence--and hyper-arrogance. Shannon Mullins, one of Boston P.D.'s "finest," is foul-mouthed and has a very short fuse, and uses her gut instinct and street smarts to catch the most elusive criminals. Neither has ever had a partner, or a friend for that matter. When these two wildly incompatible law officers join forces to bring down a ruthless drug lord, they become the last thing anyone expected: buddies.
