NYPD detective Andrew Jackson, known as “Stone Wall” for his hard-nosed policing tactics, is the subject of an ongoing investigation by Internal Affairs. He’s one bad decision away from losing his badge and possibly serving jail time when he’s handed what could be the case to save his career: the “Black Lotus” killings. Bodies are popping up all over the city, and the only clues the police have to go on are the lotus flowers left behind at the scene of every crime and the tie that binds all the victims--they were all known criminals.

Stone Wall is hounded by a beautiful young journalist, Kahllah El-Amin, who is determined to get the scoop on the police corruption scandal he’s involved in. Kahllah breaking the story will either clear Stone Wall’s name or be the match that burns him. The detective and journalist form an unlikely alliance which threatens to grow into something more intimate, but when the respective secrets they’re both keeping are exposed, they find themselves in the crosshairs of some very powerful enemies who want them dead at all costs.
