Paterson, New Jersey, 1979: Twenty-six-year-old Jamie Palmieri is a patrol officer three years out of the academy and frustrated with his slow rise to detective. All that changes when a double homicide at a local bar leaves both the owner and a young woman dead, and a short-staffed department pulling extra crew onto the case. In the wake of the Rubin “Hurricane” Carter proceedings and the city’s lingering distrust for police, Jamie is told to expect a “no one saw a thing” investigation. But as Jamie traces a series of small leads, he’s sent on a path where the tables turn quickly, with the still-unknown killer now stalking Jamie through the dark streets of Paterson and beyond, and placing the people he’s closest to in danger.
