December 2074. Long Island has transformed into a gigantic metropolis fueled by new technology and an endless chain of corruption. There is a constant battle between the ideals of the past and the call of the future, as neither side can truly claim the city for its own. In the middle of this disillusioned era is Robin Reed, a retired detective trying hard to forget the tragedies of his past. However, five days before Christmas, the aging Guardian of the Golden Age finds his family missing with nothing but a malicious threat and an impossible task: Solve five cases in five nights. With everything he loves on the line, Robin must return to the life that took everything from him, as well as the city that has long forgotten his sacrifice. In this five-part detective series, Robin delves into the criminal underworld one last time on a journey that will test his intellectual and emotional limits, as well as how far he will go to save the people he cares about.

19 parts Complete Mature

[Rewriting] Previously named Rosegold Rose Veretta is the heartbeat of the nation. Her smiles on magazine covers are worth a million dollars and to just get one of her clicks was to die for. People loved her and she loved her audience. At least that's what everyone thought. On the other side of the newspaper was a shadow. A serial killer on the loose who had been the nightmare of the PD for the last three months, with 5 murders to their record. Only two things about Robin were known, they considered murder as a form of art, and they loved popularity. What else would explain their obsession with leaving their name and one of their expensive ornaments on the crime scene? Naturally, these two belonged to different worlds. They didn't need to ever cross paths or even considered connected. But surprisingly, all the people Robin killed are one way or another, connected to Rose. Now that's a little too convenient, isn't it? # ONC Prompt 28: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. # ONC 2024 Longlister and Shortlister ONC 2024 Ambassadors Pick Featured in Ambassadors Newsletter June 2024
