HALO AROUND THE MOON follows LAPD detective Jack Bratton and UCLA professor Marcus Melter as they solve the murder of a man gruesomely killed in Beverly Hills. Steering away from the standard mystery or police procedural, HALO is a genre-defying, generational story about the intertwined histories of these two men and the criminals they pursue. Chance encounters reveal family secrets while the story simultaneously follows their ancestors’ perilous journeys to California. A tangled web of coincidental past and present events set against the current-day danger faced while cracking the case.
