So, when Boone's partner, Murphy quits because when Boone discovers Murphy's inappropriate sexual involvement with a client's wife, A.J. and Witt have no choice but to become Boone's temporary partners. And Like it or not, part of their own movie. Before they can settle in, Murphy is dead, A.J. and Wilt are detectives, Boone is behind the camera, and the world is literally upside down and sideways.
