Richard Burner, the sharp-minded Detective Chief Superintendent of the Capital Police Department’s Special Service of Crime division, cuts a striking figure with his white hair, penetrating brown eyes, and signature dark blue formal suit. His career unravels after the murder of his wife, Olivia Burner, a former bank employee killed during a meticulously planned robbery by masked assailants tied to the shadowy LIVE Corporation. The attack, disguised as a heist, detonated a bomb to obliterate sensitive evidence stored at the bank—a cover-up later exposed.

Consumed by grief and vengeance, Burner resigns his prestigious post, ceding authority to his successor, Douglas Coates. Yet retirement proves illusory. Operating outside official channels, he relentlessly targets those responsible for Olivia’s death and the corruption shielding them. His tactics grow increasingly personal: clandestine evidence points to his orchestration of a fatal jet sabotage that kills Steven Martland, a key figure linked to the deaths of Olivia and his subordinates.

A seasoned officer hardened by systemic betrayal and loss, Burner’s pursuit of justice blurs into a moral reckoning. His choices—steeped in decades of police experience and the searing trauma of his wife’s murder—drive him to confront LIVE Corporation’s rot from the shadows, his story a tense balance between duty and retribution. Post-resignation endeavors and potential spin-off arcs remain undisclosed, his legacy etched in the consequences of his actions.
