Long road to mercy

*FULL SYNOPSIS AND MORE INFO SAVED IN RESOURCES > DOCUMENTS* Her name is Atlee Pine, tough as old leather, granite determination, unstoppable tenacity, always a fighter, unwilling to cede any ground. She is 35 years old but twice that age in some important ways. She has endured real nightmares and she has the emotional and physical scars to show for it. And she got that long before she became an adult. She is a FBI Special Agent assigned to the wilds of the western US. She is a circuit agent from a tiny resident agency office, (RA) meaning she has to cover, often solo, vast tracts of area, think Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Arizona. Small towns, impossibly long distances in-between, isolation like most on the East Coast have never experienced, and an environment where anything can and does happen. Working with the locals who respect and also sometimes fear her and have never really been allowed to know her, Atlee Pine turns her vast investigative skills and unmatched drive to find out the truth. She is akin to the young Clint Eastwood in the old spaghetti westerns. She rides into town to take on evil and make things right. Along the way she will revisit painful memories of her own, come to grips with what she is and what she might one day aspire to be. But in the end, she will have to confront not only a new monster, but also the old one of her nightmares.
