The Broken Shield

As a peaceful protest turns violent, Isaac is forced to watch his mother get trampled to death. Meanwhile, Gerald's father is killed by a stray round from a riot policeman's rifle. In that moment, both men vow to battle injustice. Isaac fights crime from behind a police badge, Gerald opposes injustice through passionate activism. Both men become entrenched in their own views, rising in the ranks of an ideological war.
