When young detective Ethan Harding takes on the case of Trent Everett-an eighteen-year-old who vanished without a trace at 11:27 PM-he uncovers a chilling pattern: boys the same age, same height, same looks, all gone without explanation. Determined to break the cycle, Ethan turns to Adrian Whitmore, a brilliant young psychologist whose quiet diligence and insight prove vital in navigating the maze of fear, silence, and half-truths left behind. Together, they chase leads that twist into dead ends, searching for a face that never appears. But as nights grow longer and the trail grows colder, Ethan begins to wonder if some mysteries were never meant to be solved. Because sometimes, the answers lie closer than we dare to look-and the most careful masks are worn by those who stand beside us.
