Abby Kowalski (Rachael Carpani) is a single Chicago police officer who has advanced to being a detective in Lifetime’s new one-hour drama “Against the Wall,” but the catch is the position is in the Internal Affairs division.

And that’s a big catch because her father and three brothers are also members of the Chicago Police Department – and her father Don (Treat Williams) is very anti-Internal Affairs.

Abby’s mother Sheila (Kathy Baker) is caught in the middle, but is supportive of her only daughter making her own decisions.

Also in the pilot episode, Abby runs into a potential love interest, Danny (Chris Johnson), a lawyer and an old friend; and begins her new job with partner Lina (Marisa Ramirez), a pregnant cop who wants to do her best, but doesn’t have the same ambition as Abby.
