The man claims he went to the police, but that they refused to
investigate. Under pressure from her editor to use the video to build a
story about the incompetence of the local police captain, Lara gathers
enough evidence to print a story about a suspected suicide. Detective
Tymen Farraday, the newest cop in a precinct plagued by scandal, is
ordered to investigate and discredit the reporter if necessary. When
potential evidence is stolen and Lara is attacked, Farraday is forced to
put his grudge against reporters aside and work with the journalist to
solve the murder while trying to protect her from the killer.Just when
they think they have the evidence to arrest a suspect, two more murders
turn the investigation in an unexpected direction. The guilty have
already shown that they'll stop at nothing to protect their secrets. In a
town where one person holds all the power, not even the police can be
trusted. And the prime suspect isn't the only person Lara and Farraday
need to worry about. Views: 21
