Episode 004: A Web of Darkness
Detective Sarah Collins has been a member of the city's Sex Crimes Unit for over six years, working tirelessly on the most horrific cases involving the exploitation of children. Her work with the Internet Crimes Against Children task force has exposed her to the darkest depths of human depravity, forcing her to witness unspeakable acts committed against the most vulnerable and innocent members of society.

Despite her steadfast dedication to seeking justice, the cumulative trauma of bearing witness to such atrocities has taken an immense toll on Sarah's psyche. The harrowing images and disturbing details that have become etched into her memory have made it increasingly difficult for her to separate her professional life from her personal life.

As the cases mount and the perpetrators seem to grow more depraved with each passing day, Sarah finds herself struggling to maintain her composure. The weight of the emotional burden she carries becomes nearly unbearable, manifesting in sleepless nights plagued by vivid nightmares and a growing sense of detachment from the world around her.

Sarah's once unwavering determination begins to waver as she grapples with the overwhelming sense of hopelessness and despair that threatens to consume her. The lines between her work and her life begin to blur, and she questions whether the sacrifices she has made are worth the toll they have taken on her mental and emotional well-being.
