Danny Upshaw is a Sheriff''s deputy stuck with a bunch of snuffs nobody cares about; they''re his chance to make his name as a cop...and to sate his darkest curiosities. Mal Considine is D.A.''s Bureau brass. He''s climbing on the Red Scare bandwagon to advance his career and to gain custody of his adopted son, a child he saved from the horror of postwar Europe.
