LIFE  Charlie Crews was an ordinary police officer. Happily married, generally liked by all, and just looking for his twenty and his pension. He lost it all when his business partner and friend, Tom Seybolt, as well as his wife and son, were all brutally murdered. Crews was put on trial and convicted for the murders. Stripped of his badge and innocence, Crews was given a life sentence, where he suffered horribly, and his depression worsened as his friends and loved ones turned on him, believing him guilty, and the world at large moved on without him. |
DEATH  Crews spent twelve years behind the walls of Pelican Bay State Penitentiary. Some of that time in solitary where his only distraction was a book, The Path to Zen. It gave him a new out look on the world and helped him cope with the psychological strain of prison. And then came freedom. After 12 years, Crews' lawyer proved his innocence and he was exonerated and released. Along with his freedom, Crews won a substantial settlement; he was given $50 million. His best friend from prison, Ted Earley, manages and expands it even farther through investments. Yet, it is his reinstatement to the LAPD as a detective that Crews sees as the real win, beyond his freedom. |
REBIRTH  Currently, Crews works to put his life back together, reconnecting with his friends and loved ones, all alongside his police duties and his partner, Detective Dani Reese. Unknown to virtually everyone else in his life except Ted, Crews is pursuing an unauthorized and illegal investigation into the conspiracy that led to his frame-up, which grows ever-deeper. His partner's father seems connected, so does the FBI and a Russian gangster named Roman. This investigation eventually leads Crews to the man who really killed his friends and cleared his name once and for all. But the people who framed him are still out there. Crews is still searching for them and his path. [Disclaimer: This journal is a work of fiction. It may contain graphic depictions of violence and rape, as well as other adult material.
