Regret
In the gritty underbelly of Chicago, Judge Patrick Doyle makes a decision that sends shockwaves through the lives of a young boy and his family. Years later, haunted by the past and entangled in a dangerous web of his own making, former police officer Jake finds his world turned upside down when his daughter appears on his doorstep, bringing with her secrets and a plea that forces him to confront the consequences of his choices. Can Jake protect his daughter and navigate the treacherous path ahead, or will the darkness of his past consume them both?
The jarring ring of your phone barely cuts through the classic rock blasting from your car stereo. You’re driving back to Chicago from Michigan, a trip that took longer than planned due to some… complicated business. Your daughter, Sam, is calling, and she sounds anxious. She’s at your apartment, a place she rarely visits, and she says she has a question she can’t ask over the phone. A knot of unease tightens in your stomach. Arriving at your apartment, you find the door ajar. Calling out for Sam, you get no response. Then you see it: blood in the kitchen. Your cop instincts, though rusty, immediately kick in, sending a jolt of fear through you. Where is Sam? Has something happened?
