“I knew I was going to die. And somehow, I knew it’s exactly what I needed most.”

Sergeant Carlos Lopez patrols the streets of the isolated, sleepy California farming community of San Eugenio. Searching for meaning, purpose, and dignity, Sgt. Lopez finds it at the expense of the town’s Latino migrant population.

A prisoner of his circumstances, Sgt. Lopez believes the only possible escape is putting his department-issued Beretta 9mm to his head. In the midst of a case that has divided the nation, a call from headquarters to hold a high-profile murder suspect for the evening threatens to upend every story Carlos has created in his life and forces him to confront the demons of his past, his family, career legacy, and racial identity.

A tale of family, identity, redemption, and the meaning of truth, Those Who Fear Us asks the question, “Are the ones we’re afraid of most, the ones staring back at us in the mirror?”
