Being the head Crime Scene Investigator for the Chicago Police Department has its good and bad points but when a bank robbery turns to homicide and bodies are left in a park in which IAN LONGSTEAD frequents every morning for his morning exercise, Ian must put all the facts together and find the people responsible. Fortunately or unfortunately, a series of Karma induced events bring the only living member from the bank robbery and a man in search of revenge to Ian's doorstep. Ian must fight for his life or die at the mercy of Karma when he draws the ultimate poker hand of life; aces and eights - "A Deadman's Hand."
