About this listen

Lawless Hour is a gripping political thriller that explores the dark descent of a society under authoritarian rule. In a near-future America, the newly elected regime introduces a radical policy: an unimpeded hour of law enforcement power to "restore order." But as the night stretches on, it becomes clear that this is not a simple exercise in justice—it's a systematic purge targeting anyone deemed undesirable by the state's new laws.

Told through the rotating perspectives of a disillusioned cop, a terrified family, and a seasoned journalist, the story captures the raw fear, moral dilemmas, and desperate struggle for survival as the clock ticks down.

As the characters' paths collide in a city turned war zone, they must confront the horrific reality of their nation's choices and decide whether to fight back or try to escape the chaos. Lawless Hour is a harrowing look at what happens when democracy is sacrificed for security, leaving listeners questioning the thin line between order and oppression.

Will anyone survive the night, or is this the beginning of a new dark era in American history?
