The Scapegoat's Abyss

In the rain-slicked streets of Ashport, a hit-and-run by a district attorney's son sets off a chain of corruption. Leo Kessler, a war veteran turned janitor, is framed as the driver. After years in prison, he emerges not with hope, but with a meticulously crafted plan. As Leo dismantles the Van Cleef dynasty piece by piece, the thrill of revenge gives way to a haunting truth: the abyss he stares into has already hollowed him out. A J.D. Kirk-inspired noir of broken justice and self-destruction.
