Federal Prosecutor John Robson Resides with his family in Sherman Oaks. He's intuitive, vibrant and driven. Robson is fiercely certain that there is a connection between all the offense factions in L.A., and that there is certainly 1 overlord whose catch will probably topple them all. Despite dropping support from the FBI, despite the uncertainty of his Assistant prosecutor, Diana Palos, and despite the mounting pressure from his wife to invest time with their loved ones, Robson will not back down from his certainty and put the wheels in motion, perhaps not for the very first time, to try to get to the surface via a few of the middlemen, Lucas Reynosa. Before he can close the handle Reynosa, yet, Robson is brutally beaten, shot in the head, thrown in to the river and left dead - but manages to attain a call for help and winds up in a hospital, where, after being in a coma for three weeks and learning his family has been murdered, he pops, a new man with an older agenda: Eddie Pray.
