From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Plot
Set in the Minneapolis region we are confronted with an internal affairs investigator being found dead. With this the local police département find themselves in a potential time-bomb on their hands. Andy Fallon was gay. He was investigating a possible cop connection in the brutal murder of another gay officer. And his death looks like suicide - or an unfortunate accident.
But Andy Fallon's ex lover doesn't believe Andy died at his own hand, accidentally or otherwise. He is convinced the death is connected to his work, and presses lead detective Sam Kovac to find another answer - one that won't be popular with anyone. It begins to look as if Fallon might have hit on something that got him killed. And he might not be the final victim.
As Kovac digs deeper, he finds his job - and his life - on the edge, because someone wants the truth left dead and buried.
