D.W. St. John's (A Terrible Beauty) See Night Run is a densely written cop drama that takes aim at the war on drugs. Night Hume, a ponytailed member of the Interagency Narcotics Enforcement Team, is supposed to bust a pretty biology professor for dealing marijuana, but instead he rents a spare room in her house and watches deals go down without a word. Torn between enforcing and flouting the law and caught in the middle of a government coverup, lovestruck Hume is forced to question everything he's ever believed in.
