ABOVE SUSPICION

“They thought they could get away with murder. They thought they were... Above Suspicion.”

Dempsey Cain is an honored cop, a loving husband and father, and mentor to his handsome younger brother. Then a drug dealer's bullet paralyzes him for life and Dempsey's world is shattered. Suddenly, his wife and brother seem to care less about him than for each other, and a million-dollar insurance.

“The poster features a collage of four faces overlaid on a background of a handwritten ledger and a spiral-bound notebook with a fountain pen. The top right show”
