Crime Scene Investigator, Eddie Collins, always followed the evidence to the truth. Now, he's running from justice, and running for his life.
Eddie Collins was a brilliant CSI who became an instant hero for tackling an armed robber. He almost died that night. And many times since then he wished he had.
Four years later, riots erupt as a new government unleashes a cruel and fallible death penalty known as The Rules. Meanwhile, a hit and run driver kills Eddie's son. Eddie blames himself and his hero status dissolves into a drunken wreckage.
Though devastated, he is determined to find his son's killer, and in a display of his former brilliance, discovers the driver's identity. But he also uncovers so much more.
His only mistake is not keeping the evidence and his fury to himself.
