"I wasn't gonna let him win"

It’s December 27th, 2021, and young police officer Ashley Ferris reluctantly accepts an overtime shift— not knowing that this decision will change her life forever. That night, a supposed "Alpha" male & manosphere podcaster known as Lyndon McLeod begins his terrifying revenge spree in downtown Denver, acting out his murderous hit list hidden in the pages of his novel, "Sanction". In the dark winter night, no one knows where he will strike next, nor how to stop his rampage...Unless Ashley, who feels she has nothing to lose, can find the dangerous gunman and put a stop to his reign of terror, at any cost.
