And the people who thought they knew him must decide: Will they stand with the system, or fight for justice at any cost?

As Devin struggles to hold on to the pieces of his fractured life, he’s forced to confront the dark underbelly of the very system he’s sworn to protect. Between the pressure of his own family drama and the growing corruption around him, he learns that sometimes the only way to survive is to confront the most dangerous force of all: power itself.
