Night and the city

The last scion of a once-powerful political family, Worcester mayor John O'Toole has his sights set on higher aspirations. When paramedic Thomas Archer uncovers a secret that could upend the mayor's career, O'Toole is set on silencing him, and sends Eamon Conroy, a brutal former cop, to ensure the truth remains under wraps.

But O'Toole doesn't stop there. With bribes, buried secrets, and personal attacks, he wreaks havoc on Archer's life in an attempt to save himself. Archer's troubles continue to mount when domestic terrorist and militia member Gerald Knak, who blames Archer for his wife's recent death, plans revenge.

With two forces of evil aligned against him, Archer doesn't stand a chance. But things aren't always what they seem.
