After the violent murder of yet another young life, Thomas had decided that enough was enough, so after 12 years on Chicago Homicide he left behind all it's death & destruction. His decision to join the ranks of the Maine Police Department was well thought out as they boast the lowest homicide rate in the USA. With one of the 3 Major Crime Units based in Bangor covering Northern Maine, he seized the opportunity to take things at an easier pace.

Thomas Middleston was 37yrs old, 6ft 2" of athletic build, clean shaven with piercing green eyes & short ginger hair. Always sporting a cheeky smile, he had a light hearted attitude & was a true humanitarian. This was another reason that Chicago had worn thin on him. With a higher population of women to men, being single meant he found it easy to settle in the small town of Bradley, although he wasn't interested in any kind of relationship right now. He found a nice house with attached garage giving him the space he needed to relax but still being close enough to work.

After 5 quiet years as a Maine State Trooper, Ryan had decided 2 years ago to move over to MCU. He wore his Detective badge with pride, was always immaculately dressed & still had that raw enthusiasm of a rookie. He had lived somewhat happily in Bradley with his girlfriend Nicole for the last 4yrs but he felt like life was getting away from him.

Ryan Johnson was 30yrs old, 5ft 10" of medium build, with blue eyes & short brown hair. Though he was well respected by his colleagues & superiors, he often felt like he had missed out on something & desperately yearned for some hard core action. He'd recently bought a Victory 1750 Gunner motorbike but the jury was still out as to whether that was for stress relief or just a mid-life crisis.

Two Detectives are thrust together in an area where the peace & tranquility is about to be shattered.
