FIB - Synopsis



FIB: New Haven


A man named James is walking down a dark, windy and quiet alley, when he is suddenly struck on the head and then wakes up in a dark room with one dimly lit light. His captor is a psychotic loan shark who is owed money by James. Eventually James cannot give up the money so is simply shot in the head by the evil loan shark. His body is dumped in a field. It is found by the FIB who quickly vows to find the killer.

Little do they know that the killer is well known mafia and casino boss Antonio De Vito. James owns a bar and the bar was failing so he needed money. He turned to his former friend Antonio for money which he couldn’t pay back and was quickly killed. When a local farmer finds the bleeding body he quickly alerts the police who tell Detective Jones and Detective Frost to investigate.

They find a piece of evidence that associates with the Red Eagle casino. Then they go to the casino and bring in De Vito for questioning when the two detectives are told they are off the case. Then they take the case into their own hands. They are off the case because the victim is a close Uncle of Detective Jones. Forensics find DNA and the FIB and the detectives are in a race to solve the murder.
