Former detective Trevor Finnegan became a private investigator with a mission of catching LAPD’s dirtiest cops in the act. But while tailing two potentially bad cops, things get a lot more complex when an unknown attacker murders one cop and hurts another. It suddenly becomes Trevor’s responsibility to find the assailant, but by getting too close to the surviving officer, he could blow his cover. His hesitation ends when a detective who was like an uncle to him was murdered, likely in connection to the recent cop murder. To stop the bloodshed in its tracks, Trevor and the officer must learn to trust each other before they end up next on the hit list.
