About this title

Synopsis

In 1990, Jon and Mickey Bowie, identical twin brothers, met up with friends at a Red Roof Inn outside of Columbia, Maryland. There were fifteen teenagers and two cases of beer, and the music was probably louder than it should have been. When police came to break up the party, they violently beat the twins, leaving their faces bloody and their eyes swollen shut. Outraged, the Bowie brothers pressed charges for excessive force, leading to months of harassment and intimidation from the police. Just before they were due in court, Jon Bowie's body was discovered on top of the backstop at the high school baseball field. His death was immediately declared a suicide. Was there something else going on in Columbia? As law enforcement failed to find answers and seemed intent on preventing the truth from surfacing, family friend David Parrish uncovered a system of cover-ups that could only lead to one conclusion - Jon's death was an act of murder.
