Asphalt Penance

In the gritty, sun-scorched flatlands of Berwin County, ex-narcotics detective Elias Kane is haunted by the suicide of his wife, Lena, after their stolen car is denied coverage by Provident National Insurance over a falsified garaging address. Stripped of his badge for brutality, Kane uncovers a predatory scheme where the company systematically uses fine-print fraud to crush desperate claimants. He becomes an avenging shadow, executing the untouchable fixers and executives one by one. But as a noose of former colleagues and terrified citizens tightens around him, Kane must confront a truth darker than any conspiracy: his crusade is fueled not by love, but by the unbearable guilt of having failed to protect her, and the final bullet of his war may be the only key to forgiving himself.
