Two cities. Two good men. One impossible choice to protect the families they love.
In Detroit, Steve is just trying to walk a straight path after his release. But when a masked robber holds a gun to his mother's head inside a local corner store, the quiet life Steve imagined vanishes. He doesn't hesitate. He pulls an unregistered 9mm and shoots the gunman in the knee. His mother is safe, but to the cold eyes of the state, Steve is just another paroled felon with an illegal weapon.
In Chicago, Ronald Stevens is fighting for his own redemption. After serving a grueling prison sentence-and refusing to snitch on his treacherous crew leader, Weasel-Ronald is finally paroled. He has a stable job, his own apartment, and a beautiful relationship with his six-year-old daughter, Kaia. But the streets don't forgive so easily. After a group of muggers put a gun to Kaia's head, Ronald's protective fatherly instincts explode. He secures a weapon from a street contact, making a strict, solemn vow: he will only carry the gun on the specific days he picks up his daughter.
Then comes Thursday.
A quick run to the bank to cash his early bonus check leads Ronald straight into the crosshairs of Weasel's latest bank heist. When a panicked gunman threatens to execute a terrified pregnant hostage, Ronald draws his weapon. He stops the robbery and saves two lives, but the police see only his past record, slamming him back into a concrete cell.
Faced with a devastating 25-year maximum sentence, Ronald's only hope is Mr. Valereo, a high-priced defense attorney whose retainer has been paid by a mysterious anonymous benefactor. Desperate to silence him, Weasel launches a ruthless campaign of violence from behind bars, ordering a hit on the defense team.
Written with raw, authentic street-level grit, Undefined Evidence is an emotional legal and physical thriller. It challenges us to look past a paper record and ask a fundamental moral question: when the system fails to protect the vulnerable, what is the true price of doing the right thing?
