For the past 3 years, the terrorist known only as "Pharaoh" has been on a rampage in the city, killing cops, civilians, and animals. He burns down buildings for fun and blows up bridges for shits and giggles. His reign ended on July 21st, 2019.
But arresting officer Detective William Maddox has learned something from the deranged madman hidden behind a mask who has been harming his hometown for years: he wasn't alone in committing his crimes.
So through interrogation, flashbacks, and a last minute effort to finally end the Pharaoh's reign of terror, Detective Maddox and his trusty Shepherd Gunner and Partner Lindsey must race against the clock, and struggle with the moral implications of retrieving evidence to save their city.
