Haunted by his past and driven by his determination for justice, Julian must confront his inner demons and team up with the ambitious and fearless local journalist, Sophia Taylor (played by Zendaya), to unravel the truth behind the cryptic death of a high-profile businessman.

As the investigation unfolds, the duo discovers a web of deceit that reaches the highest echelons of power, forcing Julian and Sophia to question their own morality and confront the harsh reality of the true "better man".
