It's 1961, in Cleveland Ohio. 

Detective Eric Bjornson is a veteran in every sense of the word. He served his country in the pacific war, upheld the law for near twenty years, and raised a happy family. That life has put great weight on his shoulders though. And despite all the horrors he's seen in his eventful life, Eric's latest case plunges him into a gaping maw of violence, conspiracy, and ultimately: Tragedy.
