72 Hours

The city's mayoral election will be held in 72 hours. Current mayor Ben Firestone is running for his second term; he's facing a tough contender Al Gionnelli, an active community facilitator. Two bullets are fired at a political rally-Firestone badly wounded and a bystander dead. A troubled police detective Sgt Schaeffer is assigned to solve the case within 72 hours to keep his job. The shooter is caught shortly after the shooting but suffers from severe memory loss. A clinical psychologist is brought in to help retrieve the perpetrator's memories with the hope to shed some light on the case. The more Schaeffer digs into the case, the more confusing it gets, and worse still, key persons die one by one, including his partner. The clinical psychologist turns out to be his ex-girlfriend, who walked out on him the night after their college commencement party. Who is the mastermind behind the shooting(s)? Will the emotionally frustrated Schaeffer be able to get to the bottom of the case in time to save his job?
