The first episode launched January 1st, 2014 and feature stories of murder, abduction, rape, and even more bizarre forms of crime.

Told from an everyman's point of view, Sword and Scale goes beyond the news clips and the sensationalist headlines to hold up a mirror to the audience and ask, "Is it us versus them?
