Story
Detective Nick Tellis, suspended from the tragic detention of a dangerous drug dealer, has a rare chance to return to his previous job. The investigation into the brutal murder of an anti-narcotics operative in two months has not advanced a single step, and authorities are hoping Nick has fresh ideas. Together with the uncompromising lieutenant Oak, he is trying to find out how the agent died and who benefited from his death. The answers seem obvious, but Nick suspects that everything is not as simple as it seems at first glance. Soon the discoveries will confirm his hunch.
