Sam Jenkins joins a combined task force hunting a serial killer called
The Riverside Strangler by the local media. Complications arise when the
lead investigator, the county sheriff's chief deputy is arrested and
charged with police brutality. When Sam develops the evidence to arrest
the Strangler, everyone should be pleased, but subsequent actions taken
by his mayor and the city council affect everyone at the Prospect Police
Department and suggest that life there will never be the same.
