The hum in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, isn’t sirens so much as the grind of a garbage truck at dawn and the scrape of a window after dark. “Task” lives there, in a neighborhood that knows its people by what they throw away, where they go or don’t go to church, then shoves them onto a collision course. One side is a scuffed-up task force working out of a seized row house, and the other is a desp...

What begins as a simple “what if” id...

With &quot...
