In Butte, Montana, the summer of 1979 has just approached the small city. A city composed of long family lines filling the copper mines and college students experiencing home sickness for the first time in their lives. For every sweat dropped by the miner's, it was equivalent to the number of shots taken after work at the local bar. For the students however, each day that went by without sitting in a lecture hall, the more free they became. These two groups seemed to hate each other yet love the same things especially a bar downtown called 'Ronnie's'.
It seemed as the summer heat of '79 increased in town, so did the antics of the locals. And at the epicentre of each fight was Deputy Sergeant Jim Roger taking a majority of the calls during the nights. Until one fetal and never-ending night shift. This call was not like any others. For it was not what he discovered at the scene of the call but, what he discovers after. Leaving him fearing for his life.

The Killer's Paradox
Detective Cain's eyes scanned the cluttered room, his gaze lingering on the stack of files and crime scene photos scattered across his desk. A faint hum of anxiety buzzed in the back of his mind as he delved into the files. They were all about a serial killer, one who had been terrorizing the city . The killer's MO was brutal and efficient: fifteen deliberate steps leading up to the torso, followed by a grotesque, hand-sewn smile stitched onto the victim's face. As Cain pored over the evidence, he began to feel a creeping sense of familiarity. It was as if he had seen these crime scenes before, had walked in the killer's shoes. But that was impossible. Wasn't it? He looked down at his hands, and for a moment, he could have sworn he saw a faint smudge of blood on his fingertips. But when he looked again, it was gone. Cain's gut told him that he was missing something crucial, something that could crack the entire case wide open. But what?
