Mary, a determined journalist, finds herself entangled in a series of gruesome murders shaking her small town. After receiving an anonymous tip about the latest crime, she arrives at the crime scene and meets Sami, the lead investigator. He warns her about the dangers of the case, but Mary is determined to uncover the truth.
As she delves deeper, she meets Nader, the sole witness in one of the previous crimes, who fears for his life. He reveals that he knew all the victims and suspects he might be the killer's next target. Meanwhile, Mary starts noticing eerie connections between the murders and her own past. An old umbrella at one of the crime scenes triggers memories of a long-lost friend who disappeared years ago. Could this be a coincidence, or is the past coming back to haunt her?
As Mary and Sami investigate further, they uncover a chilling pattern-each victim is somehow connected to a dark secret from their shared past. With each passing moment, the danger grows, and Mary realizes that she, too, is being watched.
In a tense confrontation, Mary, Sami, and Nader piece together the clues. The murderer is not just targeting random victims-he is seeking revenge. A past mistake, one they all tried to forget, is now resurfacing with deadly consequences. The killer is forcing them to relive their darkest secrets, and unless they uncover the truth in time, they might be the next victims.
With fear mounting and time running out, Mary must face her past and expose the killer before it's too late.
Those who were taken...
They never came back, dragged beneath the waves never to return.
Their haunting screams were a symbol of their horrific deaths.
Like shadows they lay in wait, the deep blue waters hiding them from view.
With sharp claws they attack,
Pointed fangs tearing into skin,
Eager mouths devouring human flesh.
Cally was taken, dragged under the water by one of the vicious creatures. But she was not devoured nor torn apart by ruthless claws--no.
She was a captive.
~•~
Water instantly invades her senses. Her eyes sting, her lungs and nose burning. She thrashes, kicks, claws--anything to get away. Her efforts go to waste as her body slowly starts to shut down, the air in her lungs quickly being replaced by sea water.
Cally is vaguely aware of arms wrapping around her waist and behind her head before she loses consciousness, submerged in darkness.
And so she is taken.
Another victim of the mysterious sea.
