Throwing in the Towel

Sean is asked by a boxing trainer to find out

why a promising teenage boxer has suddenly

become morose and depressed. Before Sean

gets around to doing so, the young man is

found dead; an apparent suicide after having

jumped off a building. Motivated by guilt, Sean

convinces Cindy to leave the public defender’s

office and join him in a private investigation

agency with the death of Damiyun Walker as

their first case. Cindy and Sean become both

business partners and lovers.

They discovered that Damiyun had found out

that a thirteen year old Vietnamese girl was

being used as a sex slave by a local gang and he

was killed when he tried to rescue her. The

homicide detective looking into these two

deaths also ends up dead under circumstances

which indicate someone in law enforcement is

behind running the sex slavery of Vietnamese

girls in Portland. Sean, a Vietnam vet, has to

connect with his past contacts in the Marine

corps to find out who in Portland has the

connections in Vietnam to get these girls past

ICE enforcement, and ends up in a

show-down with the ringleader.
