It's Because of You, Ray

USA, 1999.

Ray Holloway, Max Volker's law partner and only true friend, is found dead in a bathtub overflowing with water.

To the police, it's just another open-and-shut case. An untimely death, but one caused by natural circumstances.

To Max, it's the end of the world.

Only days earlier, they had been partners at a prestigious law firm, best friends, and men convinced they could overcome any obstacle together. Now Max is left alone with questions no one seems willing to answer.

The deeper he digs into Ray's death, the more he realizes that someone has been pulling the strings for a long time. He finds himself caught in a web of people who care nothing for justice-only for silence. Every clue uncovers another lie, and the line between victim and perpetrator begins to blur.

At his side remains Caroline, the only person Max still tries to trust. Meanwhile, from the window of the building across the street, a mysterious young woman watches his every move. She knows far more about him than she should.

The question is: "why?"

In a city where everyone has something to hide, the truth can cost more than a life.

And the greatest mistake may be trusting the man you once called your brother.

It's Because of You, Ray is a dark neo-noir thriller about friendship, loyalty, revenge, and secrets that should never have come to light. Set against a backdrop of rain-soaked streets, late-night car chases, old cassette tapes, and impeccably tailored suits, every answer leads to another question, and the past refuses to stay buried.

Because some promises survive even death.
