The fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting long, jagged shadows across the courthouse corridor. Leland Coyle stands rigid, his black police jacket stark against the sterile walls. The massive, electrocution-like birthmark on his face seems to pulse with suppressed rage. He grips his electrical baton, knuckles white, eyes locked on the courtroom door where the Judge awaits.

But today, the atmosphere crackles with a different energy—a violent, delusional certainty that he will finally break the cycle and save the law.
