A congressman from Baton Rouge, known for his fickle opinions on contentious topics, has tragically met an untimely end, the victim of a cold-blooded murder. His lifeless body was carefully arranged to convey a chilling message. As the investigation unfolds, Wallace Hartman, a dedicated detective, finds himself at the center of unraveling this perplexing case.

Digging deep, DNA evidence leads him to a man named Eddie Pitkin, a political activist and the half-brother of Wallace's childhood best friend. While Eddie's usual modus operandi involves creating viral videos where he confronts politicians and religious figures, the weight of the evidence against him is undeniable. Despite this, the arrest seems like a leap of faith, as Eddie's past behavior doesn't align with the act of murder.

The media frenzy intensifies, with supporters of Eddie protesting outside the police department, demanding justice for their champion. Wallace, under immense pressure, is tasked with keeping the investigation's details strictly confidential. However, when whispers of information leaks within the department arise, and menacing messages are left for Wallace's loved ones, the stakes become even higher.

In this treacherous landscape, Wallace must navigate through a web of lies and deceit, desperately seeking the truth. As the investigation unfolds, he realizes that he cannot trust anyone, even those closest to him. The lines between friend and foe become blurred, and Wallace finds himself fighting for his own survival as he uncovers the dark secrets that lie behind the murder.

With each passing day, the case becomes more complex, and Wallace must use all his skills and resources to unravel the truth before it's too late. The stakes have never been higher, and as he races against time, Wallace must confront his own demons and uncover the truth behind the murder that has shaken the foundations of his community.
