Gotham City is a city protected by Batman. But when Batman is absent or unable to intervene, as in all cities, it is the police that conducts the investigation, sometimes with the help of a boost of the masked hero. Inspector Montoya is harassed by Lipari, one of the criminals she has arrested, released since. He searches his private life, in search of an element that could harm his career. Lipari's approach ends up destabilizing Montoya who violently attacks his tormentor. Shortly afterwards, Lipari is found smeared with bullets fired by Montoya's service weapon. Police are conducting an investigation that accuses their unfortunate colleague in every way. Yet all these facts will turn out to be the tip of a machination werry by a "near" Montoya.
