In Surrey, a brutal gangland massacre in 2007 leaves six dead in a Surrey apartment, including two innocent bystanders—Chris Mohan, a young man on his way to a basketball game, and Ed Schellenberg, a maintenance worker caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. The killings, orchestrated as a gang power play by the notorious Red Scorpions and their affiliates, shock the community and spark a massive RCMP investigation led by Sergeant Derek Baxter.
Baxter, an ambitious and hardened investigator, sees the case as his chance to secure justice, restore public trust, and cement his reputation. However, his need for results quickly turns into reckless desperation. As Baxter works to unravel the connections between the Red Scorpions, the Bacon Brothers, and the drug underworld, his methods begin to unravel his credibility. Despite his team's efforts, Baxter engages in inappropriate sexual relationships with key witnesses, a grave breach of ethics that puts the integrity of the entire investigation at risk.
As the case progresses, Baxter’s misconduct starts to surface, casting doubt on his motives, his decisions, and the reliability of the investigation. Witnesses are intimidated, alliances crumble, and gang violence escalates as the killers remain at large. Baxter’s personal flaws, unchecked ego, and unethical choices ultimately threaten to derail the case, jeopardizing justice for the victims and devastating the families seeking closure.
In the end, Surrey explores the consequences of unchecked ambition and misconduct within a system already burdened by corruption and distrust. The massacre leaves an indelible scar on the community, while Baxter faces the collapse of his career and the grim realization that his actions may have compromised everything he sought to achieve.
