As the lines between protecting state witnesses, coercion, and bribery blur, does embattled ex-cop Celeste Walters have the strength to bring the truth back into focus?

Caught in a desperate struggle between a spike in the homicide rate, police misconduct, and crippling political scandals, top-ranking Baltimore City officials work feverishly to save face at the height of a fierce election year. But when a local family is brutally murdered, elected officials devise a scheme to turn tragedy into triumph to further their political agenda.

However, seasoned narcotics detective and newly hired Witness Protection Coordinator Celeste Walters is tired of letting corruption slip under the radar, but her determination to clean house immediately makes her a target. Confronted with constant conflict and enemies from within – all while grappling with a looming divorce and the antics of her troublesome teenage daughter – Celeste quickly finds herself being set up to take the fall for distressed higher-ups who want her gone.

When handed a completely impossible ultimatum, Celeste must choose between her career and her sense of what’s right. With help from two unlikely allies and one remaining friend in blue, Celeste prepares for a career-defining fight that will decide her future – and the fate of the once-charmed city.
