Description:
Check yourself in traffic. Put down your smart phones. Ignore your texts. Line up for the turning lane like everyone else, and signal before you merge.

There's a killer on the road. And on his streets, nothing matters more than manners.

At the bottom of a roadside embankment, inside a wrecked car, riddled with bullets, the body of a young woman is found. On top of her bloody corpse, the police find a note from her killer, promising all who break traffic laws and exhibit rudeness on the Los Angeles motorways, punishment—by death.

Under the threat of a serial killer, the LAPD calls on their famed Homicide Special Section to investigate, assigning the case to their newest and youngest detective, Zarah Wheeler. Struggling with past regrets, inner demons and the fierce desire to prove herself to the seasoned veterans of Homicide Special, the hunt quickly leads Zarah in over her head, the body count climbs, and the pressure to catch the killer intensifies.

When the ever-escalating murders raise a social issue, the media is glad to cash in, creating a feeding frenzy that thrusts Zarah center stage, into the public eye, and the merciless crosshairs of the terrorist himself.
