An ex-con hires Detroit PI Amos Walker to find the people who put him
behind bars.
Countless tragedies occurred in the three days of the 1967 Detroit
riots, and one of them belonged to Richard DeVries. A 22-year-old black
man about to get his chance to play for the Pistons, he was spotted
tossing a Molotov cocktail at an abandoned building and arrested on the
spot. The police added armed robbery to the arson charge, and sent
DeVries up the river for knocking over an armored car that he had never
seen before.
20 years later he's set free, and the first man he calls on is Amos
Walker. With 20 years of savings he buys a month of Walker's time,
asking him for help finding the men who robbed the armored car. DeVries
has already paid for stealing that $200,000, and now it's time to
collect it.
