When Officer Morrison arrests a man known only as Vyncent - a name whispered in fear, tied to a string of brutal killings - he expects a monster. What he finds is something far more dangerous: a man with nothing left to lose, and a truth too devastating to ignore. Drawn into a web of secrets, Morrison is forced to question the very foundation of his beliefs. As allegiances crumble and the hunt turns inward. As the lines between loyalty and treason blur, justice rots from within. Now fugitives in a world that turns on shadows and silence, the two must navigate the ashes of trust - and the slow, perilous pull of something neither dared name. In a world where justice wears a mask and love is a loaded weapon, survival might be their greatest sin.
