Senior Agent CASEY COLLINS, a smart, ambitious, and relentless lead female police detective must stop a pair of serial rapists and killers in Miami, Florida, unearthing a scandal that ricochets from the police force to her own abusive family, and all the way to Governor’s mansion. It starts with a bang in the Prologue, when one of the serial rapists / killers is killed by a mysterious shooter disguised as a police officer. The other serial rapist / killer is wounded in the shootout and also wounds the shooter. The suspense builds as Casey pursues the serial rape and murder suspects, and then the shooter.Casey, a former teenage runaway and young widow, climbed and fought hard to reach her prestigious position in law enforcement. When a series of rapes and homicides plague Florida unabated, mounting clues point to an assailant, or pair of assailants, who may be cops. Casey suspects they may be hiding behind the universal 'Police Code of Silence,' notoriously known as the 'Blue Curtain,' and puts her life and reputation on the line to begin her investigation. She is outraged that the perpetrators are her brothers in blue, her brothers in blood!Her partner, Agent DARREN TURNER, with whom she trusts her life on a daily basis, is a bit of playboy, and has the hots for local news anchor, television star TINA EVANSTON, a stunning, ambitious, sexy bleached blonde, who has made in-depth coverage of the serial rapes and killings, her obsession on the nightly news. She uses her feminine charms to squeeze the latest tips out of Darren for her exclusive 'Breaking News' updates.Casey and Darren catch a break when the pair of perpetrators are captured on grainy, blurry, antiquated security footage leaving a gas station in Southwest Florida. Although their faces aren’t clear, they’re indeed dressed as police officers and drive away in a police cruiser.What Darren doesn’t know is that, more than their police colors, their mannerisms and movements set off traumatic childhood memories for Casey involving her estranged brothers GUS and ANGELO SLAYTON.If her premonition is correct, her reticence to divulge it, will forever destroy her reputation and relationship with the Governor; ruining her career, her only shot at personal happiness, and possibly her life.
