Care Protocol is a four-part serial thriller set in Portland, where five seemingly unconnected people are killed in a single week after four years without a public street homicide. FBI agent Maya Restrepo traces the cases back forty years and finds that each victim had once done something and walked away from it. As she investigates, someone appears to be leaving sentences in a place where writing should have been impossible. The series is written and narrated by Don McDonald and produced by Short Storyverses.
