While out on a case, Detective Peregrine Lore discovers two very important things. One, he witnesses the beginnings of a series of unexplainable car explosions. Two, he meets his new partner, a forensic pathologist and investigator, first hand. Very first hand.
The two investigate a long series of unique explosions, where the cars are obliterated into millions of pieces like magic. As they continue down the road, the case gets more and more confusing. It's soon revealed that the culprit is not your average human. They're dealing with an experienced and other- worldly killer, hell bent on revenge, who won't stop until he gets what he wants. What he wants? Peregrine Lore.
