A morally murky crime thriller about a cop haunted by childhood secrets in his old neighborhood, where institutional corruption and personal guilt collide.

A rookie cop is assigned to the 118 Precinct in the same district where he grew up. The Precinct Captain starts receiving letters about two unsolved murders that happened many years ago in the housing projects when the rookie cop was just a kid. These letters bring back bad memories and old secrets that begin to threaten his career and break up his family.
