Protect The Guilty

Sam Westmore is dead. So are six other people. And Sam knows exactly why.

After committing an unthinkable act of violence and taking his own life, Sam awakens to find himself hovering above the crime scene, invisible to the investigators searching for answers.

But Sam left something behind.

Clutched in his lifeless hand is a thumb drive containing the story of the events that drove a once-peaceful husband and father to the breaking point. As Detectives Phil and Andy uncover its contents, Sam is forced to relive the betrayal, anger, and injustice that transformed his life and ultimately ended seven others.

He wants them to understand.

He wants the truth exposed.

And death, Sam soon discovers, hasn't left him powerless.

Trapped between this world and whatever comes next, Sam begins wandering the streets of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. As he learns to navigate his strange new existence, he discovers an extraordinary ability to influence the living. Faced with cruelty, corruption, and people who believe they can escape the consequences of their actions, Sam begins dispensing his own version of justice.

But where does justice end and vengeance begin?

And who gets to decide who is truly guilty?

Night after night, Sam returns to a historic monument, where a mysterious homeless stranger waits. Unlike everyone else Sam encounters, this man seems somehow aware of his presence. And the message he carries may finally explain why Sam remains among the living and what he is supposed to do with the second existence he's been given.

Some seek forgiveness. Sam seeks justice.

Protect the Guilty is a dark supernatural psychological thriller about betrayal, vengeance, morality, and one man's search for meaning after committing an act that can never be undone.
