Things are never what they seem; especially in police work. John Testarossa is an LAPD cop with an NYPD attitude who has seen it all. The dead, the dying and the decomposing are all in a day's work for the red-headed Italian from Brooklyn. After an arm rolls up on a Santa Monica beach, and the dead body to which the arm was once attached is discovered, John and his partner, Alex Ortiz, enter the world of college sports, athletes, and the illegal drugs that enhance their performance. Rage and revenge come together in a toxic cocktail John is all too familiar with. It defined him as a young boy, and ultimately still does as a man. He carries a dark secret. It is in the beautiful Dr. Karen Gennaro-who has a few secrets of her own- that John finds a soft place to land. Even as he knows all too well what falling in love with a cop can do to a woman. What sustains this hard-boiled detective is the bond he shares with his brave and dedicated partners. When that bond is destroyed in a senseless act of violence, will his past, and a desire for vengeance, destroy him? From Los Angeles, where Venice Beach, Marina del Rey, and the dream of Abbot Kinney's Venice Canals paint a picture of bliss, Testarossa will take you on a deeper, darker journey.…

Meet John Testarossa—an LAPD detective with an NYPD attitude.
John Testarossa has spent years chasing killers through the streets of Los Angeles. The dead don't surprise him anymore. People still do.
When a severed arm washes onto a Santa Monica beach, John and his partner, Alex Ortiz, are drawn into the world of college athletics, performance-enhancing drugs, and the dangerous secrets that fuel them.
Rage and revenge are poisons Testarossa knows all too well. They shaped him as a boy and still define him as a man. He carries a dark secret that threatens every relationship he has.
It is in the beautiful Dr. Karen Gennaro—who has a few secrets of her own—that John finds a soft place to land, even as he knows all too well what falling in love with a cop can do to a woman.
What sustains John isn't the job. It's the bond he shares with his partners. When that bond is shattered by a senseless act of violence, his past and his hunger for vengeance threaten to destroy everything he's fought to protect.
Los Angeles has never looked darker.
