Detective Leah Karr is a detective running from her own history, determined to prove that a person can truly escape their worst self. But the new killer terrorizing the city-dubbed The Curator-seems intent on proving her wrong. The Curator targets people who have undergone radical, positive transformations, murdering them to "preserve the truth" of who they WAS. Each crime scene is a meticulously arranged shrine to the victim's toxic past: a framed photo of their darkest moment, a forgotten cult artifact, the single chilling word, "FUI" (Latin for "I was"). As Karr races against the clock, she must enter the Curator's unsettling world, realizing the killer doesn't act out of cruelty, but a chilling conviction: that the core self is static, like an ancient artifact that must be protected from destructive "reinvention." To catch him, Karr must confront her own desperate need to bury her past, forging an unlikely alliance with a key informant whose own transformation hangs in the balance. The case is closed. The Curator is caught. But the true game has only just begun.
