Following the second outbreak of savage mammals perpetrated by a fox going by the name of Flip the city of Zootopia has struggled to come to grips with the inter-species tensions the crisis provoked. Now, just when it appeared that things were beginning to calm down, came an outbreak of brutal assaults and murders that has left the ZPD scrambling to contain the violence.

Working for the ZPD is a demanding job, especially when you are the first of your kind on the force. Although Nick and Judy make an effective team, trying to balance the demands of work while still maintaining a social life is a challenge of all its own—especially in the face of social pressures brought by living in a city still recovering from pred/prey tensions.

Now a veteran of the ZPD and officially dating Judy, Nick has decided it is time to move their relationship forward and is trying to work up the courage to propose, but before he can a new crime threatens everything he knows and loves. Not a fan of dark fiction, and don't consider this one, but that said things get heavy pretty quick. Fair warning. (Unrelated to Partners.)
