Sometimes justice takes a different path.
For a hard-charging detective in the Pandering Investigative Team (PIT), now co-host of the MSNBC-TV series Slave Hunter, deliverance comes in the manner of long prison sentences, humiliation, and bankruptcy for the animals who subjugate, beat, and torture women into selling their bodies, while reaping all the financial rewards.

Helping Chris are two young women from Davis stable of ten, who reach out to Chris for rescue after Mario severely beats them. Chris picks up the chase to find and finish Mario off for good, gratis of the Las Vegas penal system.
But justice is complicated, and Chris fears the case is slipping through his fingers when the two women fear testifying against Mario.
