New Orleans, 1930s. A city drowning in jazz, heavy fog, and blood-soaked secrets.

The bodies are appearing with terrifying regularity-precise, staged, and utterly untraceable. While the police department flails in confusion, the city whispers of a monster hiding in plain sight.

Enter Detective Y/N L/N: sharp, relentless, and an outsider in a department that wants her to fail. In a world of men who believe a woman's place isn't at a crime scene, she is the only one who can see the patterns emerging from the carnage. Every shadow holds a clue; every detail is a piece of a puzzle that only she can solve. But the most dangerous presence in the Crescent City isn't a ghost-it's Alastor.

By day, he is the city's most charismatic radio host, a man with a velvet voice and a smile that never fades. He is enigmatic, untouchable, and seemingly fascinated by the new detective on the trail of the "Bayou Butcher". As Y/N is drawn into his orbit, the line between hunter and prey begins to blur. She must decide if Alastor is her only ally in a corrupt city-or the very source of the shadows she's trying to light.

In a New Orleans where every mask hides a predator, Y/N is about to learn that some monsters don't hide in the dark. They smile at you through the radio waves.
