When a series of high-profile murders rocks the city of Birchwood, Detectives Xander Walsh and Damon Schaeffer are called in to unravel a chilling mystery. Each crime scene is marked by a haunting signature—a poem, hinting at the killer’s motivations.
Detective Walsh, a fierce investigator with a reputation for solving the unsolvable, must dive into a dark labyrinth of clues that blur the line between art and madness. As he delves deeper into the case, his mysterious past comes back to haunt him.
As the body count climbs and public fear mounts, Detective Walsh must race against time to unravel the clues. But in a game where the shadows hold the key, will he catch the killer before he strikes again, or will the echoes of his past become his undoing?
