In the gritty heart of Los Angeles, seasoned detective Nathan Reed grapples with the unraveling strands of his personal and professional life. Fresh off a turbulent divorce from his wife, Mia, he struggles to reconnect with his rebellious teenage daughter, Zoe. Nathan's relentless focus on his cases has driven a wedge between him and his family, with Mia moving on to a new relationship.

The story opens as Nathan is summoned to an unprecedented crime scene: the President of the United States, Mila Montgomery, has been assassinated in a penthouse hotel room, her body left in a shocking manner that sends the media and the nation into a frenzy. The city is locked down, and Nathan is assigned to the lead investigative team, alongside his ambitious captain, Isaac Turner. But as he digs deeper, Nathan discovers there's more to this murder than meets the eye. President Montgomery was a tech industry visionary, deeply embedded in a web of corporate espionage and political tensions, suggesting her death was part of a complex plot.

As Nathan's investigation intensifies, Mia and her new husband, Jonathan, a wealthy real estate tycoon, find themselves in danger. Unbeknownst to Nathan, Jonathan has been involved in shady dealings with international crime syndicates, including the Yakuza. When Nathan learns that Mia has been murdered, his world shatters. Her death is staged to look like a random break-in, but Nathan knows it points to something darker-a calculated strike by the Yakuza, targeting Jonathan.

Meanwhile, Zoe's life spirals out of control. Angry and grieving, she seeks solace in risky behaviors, feeling abandoned by her father. Nathan's attempts to reach her only push her further away, trapping him in a downward spiral of guilt and frustration.All Rights Reserved

Tonight's "Pilot" Episode: Roadkill by ChrisBuono

Evil never wins, when there's a "genius" cop on the case! A golden-haired movie producer's wife has been killed in Los Angeles, California and Lieutenant Brock Cinder is on the case. A cop's cop, Brock's a lone wolf and the envy of all in his department. But the tough cop with flair has been wounded by a life event. Will such baggage--that burdens his heart to this day--help him to solve this crime, or--together with what he sees at this roadkill--encourage him to quit the force and turn his back on catching killers? (*Fun fact: Rather than use the traditional "Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc., headers--for each "cliffhanger break" in the following story--I chose, instead, to go with more "nostalgic" headers [i.e., "Tonight's Episode, Act I, Act II," etc., and "Epilogue"], since that style had been a similar case in classic Quinn Martin Productions like the following three television cop/crime series: "The Streets of San Francisco" [ https://youtu.be/SLec8xEG8xE ], "Barnaby Jones" [ https://youtu.be/bkx2jWGZVJU ], and "Cannon" [ https://youtu.be/eIfdD191II4 ]. I've always loved that "Tonight's Episode..." TV format style opening, as well as the "Act Number" appearing on the screen, regarding each of the later main intro scenes, for such TV mystery shows.)
