Synopsis/Details
With its blend of a gritty murder investigation and the personal toll it takes on the lead detective, the story channels the chilling atmosphere of Seven. The layered corruption and moral ambiguity parallel Training Day, offering a compelling mix of crime, power dynamics, and dangerous alliances. When high-end escort Kandace “Kandy Cane” Jackson is savagely murdered in a luxurious Chicago hotel suite, veteran homicide detective Xavier Holiday is called in to investigate. Kandace’s death is no ordinary crime—her meticulously cleaned crime scene, connections to the city’s elite, and a trail of erased evidence point to a deeply buried conspiracy. Despite departmental pressure to let the case go cold, Xavier is determined to uncover the truth. When he can’t find a clue to save his life, he’ll let the case go until he’s forced to re-examine it as he winds down his time in the department. Delving into Kandace’s shadowy world a second time, Xavier uncovers a tangled web of secrets linking political powerhouses, dangerous criminals, and the personal tragedies of those left behind, including Kandace’s struggling daughter. His investigation puts him in the crosshairs of those who would kill to protect their secrets. Forced to navigate corrupt systems, unreliable allies, and ghosts of his own past, Xavier must decide how far he’s willing to go for justice. With time running out, he races to expose the truth behind the Blood Moon, a clandestine organization at the heart of it all, risking everything for the answers he seeks. A gripping crime thriller, Blood Moon over Bronzeville combines raw grit and emotional depth, weaving a tale of redemption, betrayal, and the enduring fight for justice.

The Writer: Scott Sawitz

I like to write character studies of complex, flawed people within a genre framework. My scripts are like my comedy; dark and thrilling with a dash of pop culture references mixed in with a heaping helping of fun. My feature film "Save State" is currently available to watch on Tubi, Amazon, FuboTV, iTunes, Fawesome TV and wherever proper indie films stream. I'm a four-time optioned screenwriter (features), a former freelance sports writer and all around funny guy... and my dog is cuter than yours. Go to bio
