About this listen
There's a new crime boss in town, and he means business. With the city's power balance teetering on a knife's edge, San Diego residents need to watch their step, because one wrong move could be their last.
Seasoned Sergeant James Edwards is a man on the verge of retirement, but when his superior receives wind of a new underground ruler, both his plans and the city's stability spiral into chaos. As Sergeant Edwards is drawn into one final investigation, he discovers a chilling truth: someone is leaking vital info to the gangs, and all the signs point to the same place—a traitor in the department. Meanwhile, Officer Jose Sandoval is torn between loyalty and a particular hunch, growing suspicious of a once-trusted colleague.
Out on the streets, a sly informant tiptoes through landmines, playing both sides by feeding intel to the cops while double-crossing the gangs he's supposed to be serving. For Sergeant Edwards, everything's unraveling—a lost career, a love that slipped away, and a life that was seemingly missing a purpose.
With pressure mounting from every direction, the question is: Can he get to the bottom of the most twisted case he's ever faced? Or will someone else take him down first? Uncover who survives the final play in a city where loyalty is a gamble and trust is a deadly game.
