In a docile future, where guns were almost all outlawed and any form of aggression or violence was swiftly dealt with. Citizens everywhere are discovering that violence has become passé and as much of a social pariah, as bigotry and abuse. Though with this new wave operate societal conditioning, Homicide Departments have become defunct. The jails on all levels have primarily closed, and local Police Departments have been regulated to tax payer funded archivists. Everything was going fine until suddenly, several citizens reported seeing unconnected shadows throughout the city. These sightings are chalked up to sleep deprivation and overactive imaginations. What can’t be explained is the disappearance of these same citizens. Everything culminates one morning, when a jogger spots a man who has been shot through the head at point blank range. After despair, chaos, and shock ring through the streets of the quiet community. With Homicide Departments now being defunct, the community doesn’t know where to turn. Two disgraced former Detectives/Inmates cross paths and try to find the culprit responsible. The only way to crack the case is to locate a Reclusive former U.S. Marshall, as well the only hand gun that was never found and destroyed. What emerges is a much broader mystery, which could have far ranging implications, than just the shadows that trek behind us all.
