SYNOPSIS:
Jessica Jones meets True Detective in Trail of Shadows, a gritty neo-noir thriller about a relentless private investigator’s search for her troubled sister. Blending raw emotional stakes with pulse-pounding action, the story dives deep into family secrets, the cost of justice, and the strength it takes to fight your demons while battling the criminal underworld.
Elektra Ravensworth, a former narcotics detective turned private investigator, is no stranger to tough cases. Jaded but fiercely determined, Elektra is drawn back into a perilous world when her estranged half-sister Melinda disappears, leaving behind a trail of bad decisions and mounting debts. Hired by her enigmatic father, billionaire Harrison Montgomery, Elektra must trace Melinda’s descent into the city’s seedy underbelly, uncovering links to dangerous criminals and unraveling layers of betrayal.
As Elektra pieces together Melinda’s tangled web of lies, she encounters a violent drug network, shady dealings, and a deadly conspiracy orchestrated by Ridley Collins, a brutal crime lord who’s been tightening his grip on the streets.

With her investigative skills and Marine Corps grit, Elektra navigates a treacherous path, uncovering not just what happened to Melinda, but the dangerous legacy left by those who should have protected her.

Sounds thrilling, Scott Sawitz. The only suggestion I have is change "will plunge" to "plunges."
