"Don't let your father shape you, Freddy. Don't fall for such gross, sweeping generalizations. Because I promise you......you're better than that." -Marle Atkins

The cop-hating anti-heroine Marle Atkins has been making far strides and great advancements in her role as the undisputed leader of the Mastermind Conspiracy, a controversial, semi-covert movement that seeks to punish officers convicted of police brutality incidents with unparalleled torture beyond compare. Along with her two closest friends and advisors Tajwar "T-Bone" and Silver, she has brought true justice to those who would see her people brought low......or so she believes.

But things are about to change for the Conspiracy forever. When Silver invents a new type of technology enabling him, Tajwar, and Marle to venture deep into the vivid memories and backstory of the Conspiracy's latest "client", Officer Frederick Bixby, it sets the reluctant Marle, who has allied with the superhero Ariel Axilas a.k.a. Lightspeed, on a journey of great discovery and enlightenment that leads to her questioning everything she and her followers stand for.

Will she realize this epiphany and change herself for good? Or are some things marred by the passage of time......just never meant to be corrected?
