Echoes of the Vietnamese War. New York City, 1987. When a decorated police officer is found brutally murdered, the city rocks-and the NYPD demands swift justice. Detectives Michael Casoni and Jennifer Santino are assigned to track down the killer, but what begins as a manhunt soon transforms into something far darker. For Casoni, a Vietnam veteran and ex-tunnel rat still haunted by the jungles of a forgotten war, the case rips open old wounds and buried memories. For Santino, young, ambitious, and idealistic, it's a crash course in the brutal realities of the job-and the human cost of violence. As they delve deeper, the investigation exposes a chilling link between the cop killing and the horrors of Vietnam-a link that could destroy reputations, careers, and lives. Facing corruption, betrayal, and a ruthless enemy who always seems one step ahead, Casoni and Santino must confront not only the truth behind the murder but also the ghosts that follow them both. Gritty, atmospheric, and relentless, Manhunt is a powerful cop thriller that captures the pulse of 1980s New York and the lingering scars of a generation scarred by conflict.
