District Attorney's office. Hawk is assisted by his African American partner, 
Dan Carter (played by Wayne Grice). Hawk and Carter deal with various 
common cases such as murder, organized crime and arson. While
facing the brutal daily life of being a detective, Hawk's native heritage and 
ancestry has also caused him to be subjected to discrimination and racism, 
both on the streets and in the office.

scenes filmed at the Filmways Studios in East Harlem.
 
The series also co-stars Bruce Glover as Assistant D.A. Murray Slaken, and
