shadeCraft is a gripping, character-driven procedural crime drama that follows former NYPD detective Maya Thompson and ex-FBI agent David Nixon, two unlikely partners who run Justice Insight Consultants—a private investigative firm working alongside the NYPD to solve New York’s most brutal and complex cases. From chilling murders and kidnappings to psychological manipulations and conspiracies, the duo uses their opposing methods—Maya’s sharp logic and David’s instinctual, often rule-breaking tactics—to expose dark truths in the city that never sleeps. But crime isn't the only thing complicating their lives. As the team navigates deadly cases each week, their personal struggles bleed into their work—David’s comatose wife Angie, Maya’s haunted past, and the tension between their morally gray allies—including forensic psychologist Jenna Adams, tech genius Robert Johnson, and private investigator Clive White. With suspense, wit, and emotional depth, shadeCraft explores justice, truth, and the cost of holding on when letting go might be the only way forward.
