Beneath the Badge

Detective Sarah Blake had seen the underbelly of her city in all its grim glory. The neon lights of downtown masked a darkness that pulsed just beneath the surface—an intricate web of crime, corruption, and secrets that festered in the shadows. After a year of playing cat-and-mouse with a notorious drug ring, she thought she'd seen it all. That was until the body of a promising rookie officer turned up in an alleyway, a badge still glinting on his chest, the world around him fading to gray.

As Sarah digs deeper into the officer's past, she uncovers connections that lead her to question everything she thought she knew about her department—and those she called allies. With the city on edge and whispers of betrayal growing louder, she realizes the line between right and wrong has never been more blurred. Trust becomes a luxury she can't afford, and every lead brings her closer to a chilling truth: beneath the badge, there are more layers than she ever imagined.

In a race against time, Sarah must navigate a treacherous landscape of deceit, where loyalty is a facade and danger lurks at every corner. Will she uncover the truth before it consumes her, or will the darkness finally swallow her whole?
