As he begins to follow the clues, Green soon discovers that the path to solving this mystery is filled with peril and forces he could not have imagined.

The year is 1958, Germany. Detective Karl Emmerich is requested to assist in the resolution of a strange case. Initially, the medical team rules the cause of death to be a heart attack, yet further forensic evidence points to something more sinister. Following his notorious reputation for never leaving a case unsolved, he begins to decipher this mystery. Meanwhile, 16 years old Rainer Ringquist, who struggles through school as much as through life itself, finds himself standing at the threshold that would forever change his destiny. What begins as a macabre case for Detective Emmerich and a tragic start of summer vacation for Rainer will soon intertwine their fates, pull them into the darkest depths of the abyss and unveil more about themselves and the world than they could've ever bargained for. After all, once darkness has seized you, it will never let go -- holding you tightly within its unrelenting embrace. Will you take the plunge with them?
