Detective Billy Harney just joined Chicago PD's Special Operations Section, but his first case brings nothing but trouble. A drive-by shooting on the west side looks straightforward until politics get involved. Harney pushes for a quick resolution as the city demands justice and threatens to riot. But his cop instincts tell him something is wrong. Three victims are dead, yet Harney suspects more people are involved than anyone admits. His father once served as chief of detectives, and his twin sister Patti works the force too, so police work runs in his blood. The easy answers don't add up. Someone shoots Harney in the head. A state's attorney stalks him. His fellow officers accuse him of murder. The deeper he digs, the more enemies he makes. His secret investigation reveals corruption rotting Chicago from within. To expose the truth, Harney must confront the one thing he swore to avoid forever: his own troubled past.
