Official fact sheet

One night while on routine patrol, Grant City cop, Jack Slate takes a ?shots fired? call from police dispatch. Arriving at the scene, Jack discovers something that leads him through a twisted labyrinth of crime and corruption, which turns him from a model officer to a fugitive hunted by good cops, bad cops, bounty hunters, and crooks alike. Without a gun, a car or a home and with pitifully few friends, Jack battles with the criminal element that continues to rain crime and heartbreak on the city like a hurricane. With your help, Jack Slate will wage this war until its explosive conclusion, when he has the ones responsible?
