COLD CASE is a drama about Lilly Rush, the lone female detective in the Philadelphia homicide squad, who finds her niche when she's assigned to "cold cases" — crimes that have never been solved. Previously, she used her instinctive understanding of the criminal mind on current murders. Now, she's interrogating witnesses of "yester-crimes" whose lives and circumstances have since changed, making use of today's new science and finding fresh clues to solve cases that were previously unsolvable — all of which appeals to this smart, driven detective. She's also prepared for the consequences — that her work will open up old wounds and may lead suspects to commit new crimes. When she hits a dead end, Rush seeks advice from her respected mentor, Lt. John Stillman. Also on the team are Det. Scotty Valens, Rush's confident and strong-willed partner; Det. Will Jeffries, who's been around long enough to serve as Lilly's link to the past, Det. Nick Vera, a tough cop who's considered the go-to guy for getting a confession and Kat Miller, the new girl on the team who is eager to prove her worthiness. Rush sees her assignment as a turning point in her career, when she decides to make it her business to make sure that no victim is ever forgotten.
