3.0

Vic embarks on a favor for a neighborhood friend who was like a little sister to her. It’s to find out who her was father is. Lots of family angst on the Southside and Eastside of Chicago. Dark secrets. The mere mention of two names at a chemical plant starts the infamous Chicago machine and mob shadowing Vic. Soon a childhood friend is murdered. A simple paternity investigation morphs into the uncovering of a massive industrial and environmental poisoning with insurance fraud and local corruption. Vic comes close to death. Were it not for her guardian neighbor Mr Contreras this series would be over.
