Nine Above A Bastard

A man is found dead on the street. Two rookie cops are sent into a rundown apartment building near the scene to search for witnesses.

They know the assignment is busy work meant only to cover the bases and expect nothing to come out of it.

Door after door, floor after floor, as expected, their effort yields nothing. Until they meet Sheila.

Drawn into her apartment, the officers are sucked into a confusing story that seems unrelated to their mission. They're ready to dismiss the discussions as the mere ramblings of an old woman when they realize Sheila seems to be an eyewitness.

But extracting details from her brings them face-to-face with a festering hatred unlike anything they've ever seen.
