Thirteen years ago, then eight-year-old Ashley Jansen witnessed a brutal murder from her grandmother’s porch. Pressured by her mother and a powerful detective to "go along to get along," she provided the false identification that sent Bobby Fields to prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Now, in the final weeks of the Police Academy, the ghosts of that night have returned.
When the truth becomes a "NorthStar" she can no longer ignore, Ashley takes a stand in a high-stakes appellate hearing.
Her testimony doesn't just threaten to free an innocent man; it places her in the crosshairs of Detective Clarence Quinby, a man who will stop at nothing to protect his "sterling conviction record" and the secrets hidden in the New Roxbury Police Department. As Ashley fights to survive the grueling physical and psychological demands of her training, the stakes turn deadly. With a "bullseye" on her back from within her own department and a conspiracy of missing evidence pointing to a greater evil, Ashley Jansen must decide if her oath to the truth is worth the ultimate sacrifice.
