Detective Ian Myers is thrust into a labyrinthine investigation when a series of pristine, poison-induced murders begins to mirror a cold case from his rookie days. What starts as a procedural hunt for a serial killer evolves into a harrowing psychological ordeal as Ian discovers cryptic notes and surveillance files addressed directly to him. The killer, seemingly always one step ahead, leaves behind evidence that suggests Ian was a witness to a forgotten tragedy seventeen years ago involving a boy named Nathan Cole. As Ian delves into suppressed memories and dark secrets at the Northbridge Psychiatric Institute, his grip on reality fractures. He must confront the terrifying possibility that the mastermind he is hunting is inextricably linked to his own past. In a world of altered records and fractured identities, the boundary between investigator and suspect blurs, leading to a devastating revelation about the nature of guilt and the monsters we create to survive our own trauma.
