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.
