The Concrete Shadow

Synopsis

Stepping across the line, Detective Miles Corbin sheds his badge, his identity dissolving into the grime of the city's underbelly. His mission: infiltrate the impenetrable empire of Silas "The Serpent" Blackwood, a gangster whose reach chokes the city. Every breath is calculated, every glance a potential betrayal. Miles must live the lie, becoming one of them, his thoughts a frantic internal monologue navigating the treacherous currents of loyalty, fear, and the relentless pursuit of justice. He's not just looking for clues; he's living the proof, the weight of his purpose pressing down with every heartbeat in this concrete jungle. Deep within the Serpent's lair, surrounded by men who would kill him without a second thought if his cover slipped, Miles sifts through the whispers, the guarded conversations, the hidden ledgers. The line between who he is and who he pretends to be blurs. He finds the threads, the damning evidence needed to unravel Blackwood's web, but getting it out is another nightmare entirely. The walls have ears, the shadows have eyes, and the closer he gets to bringing down the empire, the more his own life hangs by a thread, a solitary mind fighting a war from the inside out.
