Synopsis of opening 
In the 2 minutes of our film we first see a black frame and in the background we hear our first protagonist's "The vigilante" monologue. The story follows him as he starts to investigate a derelict building  looking for any leads on the murder case he is currently investigating and the "bigger picture behind it". As he investigates he starts to remember a body that he found recently in one of la's parks, the same corpse which sent him on this investigation in the first place as he notices a clue which leads him toward this derelict building an apartment building belonging to someone he suspects knows the truth. The vigilante goes on to look for any leads in the apartment and picks up a damaged photo frame this then match cuts into the second protagonist the detective as he is holding an empty glass. The detective then gives a short monologue allowing the audience to gain some insight into his life. This then fades to black in present day in which the audience should establish that the police have arrived when we hear the sounds of sirens in the background and a man shouting "we've got you surrounded come out with your hands up", the vigilante replies "I'm ready when you are" and it cuts to black.
