Since finishing law school, Detective Ash Rashid wants nothing more than to bide his time waiting for an open position in the Prosecutor's Office. That changes, though, when he hears that the mother of one of his daughter's friends was murdered in front of her home-a crime that members of his department would seemingly rather ignore than seriously investigate. Ash launches an inquiry and quickly becomes entangled in a case involving a dangerous mix of election-year politics, crime and street justice. If Ash doesn't solve the murder fast, his hit-and-run victim may not be the only innocent to die.
