Peter Baines started his career as a police officer in the streets of Cabramatta in the early nineties. Becoming a specialist in forensic crime scene investigations he was called upon to bring his skills to the Bali bombings in 2002. But it was the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami that forever changed the direction of his life. Helping the people of Thailand identify their dead, he met the countless children who had been left behind, orphaned, with nowhere to go. With a colleague he decided to do something, and set about creating the charity Hands Across the Water, building an orphanage and raising funds to support and educate the children. This is Peter's story about how one knockabout Aussie bloke can change the lives of thousands by offering a hand.

What happens when real talk gets a little too real? That's the 800-lb. gorilla confronting the Office of the Sheriff. This character-driven saga puts the rear echelon in the crosshairs as Hands Across the Sea delves into the professional and personal sides of the badge where the rubber meets the road. The Office of the Sheriff, known as the Agency, comes face-to-face with the unexpected: the changing of the guard. Their larger-than-life Sheriff, Garrison Cottrell, abruptly resigns and passes the torch to his hand-picked successor - Brendan Callaghan. Explore how the Command staffers' isms intertwine with their leadership styles and come to light during kaleidoscopic situations. Gear up for what happens when the door shuts and the dialogue begins - and sometimes, not in that order. Will it bring the Agency together or tear it apart? Brian Cook doesn't just peer back the curtain, he pulls it down and gives you a look into personalities that often takes on the guise of Peyton Place. But we're still talking about professionals, right?
