Senator Nicholas J. Ferris has always prided himself on doing what is right. Which is why he opposed the F.O.R.C.E. Act, which allows the police to act without concern for civil rights. When he comes to Cleaveland, Ohio, to open an agency to help victims of sexual abuse, he finds himself battling Agents of the F.O.R.C.E Act after a police shooting. One agent who may be on his side or not is Angie, a Latina with issues of her own. Of course there is also the urban legend of a shadow that devours criminals, which may be all too true.
