Storyline

Akram faces great challenges of being a good father to a daughter he greatly loves, but is separated from her mother, while juggling a career in the police force that would love to fire him if it wasn’t for the union. He’s ingested so much hate and mistreatment that he has become angry, hateful, and racist. He takes his childhood trauma and imposes it upon the police trusting public in Middle America. No cop will work with him until the chief finally finds an Arab police officer they can promote to detective. They come from similar places but had very different experiences in their youth. As they partner up, they find just how different they truly are. Akram creates his own laws as he feels is justified from his perverted perspective while his partner, Rashid, follows the extent of the law as he was trained.
