Fred Underhill is a young cop on the rise in Los Angeles n the early 1950's, a town blinded by Hollywood glitter. A chance lead on a possible serial killing is all it takes to fuel his reckless ambition, and it propels him into a dangerous alliance with unstable elements in the law enforcement hierarchy. When the case implodes, it is Fred who takes the fall. But even without the authority of a badge, Fred Underhill knows that his only hope for redemption lies in following the investigation to its grim conclusion.
