Young 12 year old Luckasz Bailey, son to city icons and richest, Marianne Bailey and Jakob Bailey, witnesses his parents get murdered in the streets in the dark of the night. With all hope lost, Luckasz is left looking up into the sky full of darkness.
Enter, Kagame Atiyama, a detective for the DCPD, the Dark City Police Department. He, and his partner, Detective Michael Spade, are called onto the scene of the double homicide, only to discover who the victims really are. Not wanting that kind of PR pressure on him, Spade quickly abandons the case to hand it off to Major Crimes, but it's too late, since Kagame is already talking to the only eye witness, Luckasz.
Making the promise that he'd find the person who did this, Kagame finds out that he's gotten himself involved in something way bigger than just a homicide. Now, in the heart of the city's crime, he must pursue the truth, while trying to stay alive.
