During the 11pm shift change at a police station, a mysterious person opens fire on two law enforcement officers from the dark, distant tree line. Corporal Bryon Dickson II is killed, and Trooper Alex Douglass is left critically wounded. This lands the cruel murderer a spot on the FBI's Most Wanted list, and the longest manhunt in Pennsylvania history ensues through 300 square miles of the Pocono Mountain wilderness.
