Thriller Police Procedural | Thriller Crime

Pushed to his emotional limit, Los Angeles County Sheriff Deputy Bruno Johnson struggles to hold his family together while immersed in his unrelenting career. His daughter, Olivia, is a teen mom to twin toddlers; her common-law husband, Derek Sams, is a thug; and one of their little boys has disappeared under his care. The overwhelming intensity demanded of Bruno on this personal level is compounded by the brutal shotgun murder of a superior court judge and his wife, both friends of his. Tragedy strikes Bruno’s life on all fronts: family, friends, and professional—but none of these colossal forces can match the appearance of an unthinkable element that will forever dominate Bruno’s life.
