A maniac promises if the riddle embedded in four 30 second sound bites is solved, they will find him. He calls himself Robin Hood because he will be collecting body parts from the rich and distributing to the poor. Our protagonist, detective Charlie Taylor, begins with his first mistake: treating the message as a harmless hoax. This becomes a mystery which haunts the homicide team for weeks. The year is 2021, and Dr. Max's Nobel Prize winning innovations, truth serum and memory probe, are the primary interrogation tools for the revised justice system. The system promotes the death sentence as the most efficient way to control those who won't play by the rules. Death row in every prison is now been cleared: execute or release. And, all prisons are to be decommissioned and the facilities converted to public spaces.

During a prison transition there is a misuse of Dr. Max's innovations; have innocent men been executed? The search for answers is hampered by the romantic struggles of Charlie and two of his superiors.
