In the sprawling metropolis, a seasoned detective finds herself entangled in a series of gruesome murders that shake the city to its core. A woman’s body is discovered in the murky waters of the River, the latest victim in a string of brutal killings that span nearly a decade. The killer's signature is as chilling as it is consistent: the victims are scalped, and their bodies discarded like refuse.
As she digs deeper into the case, the detective is haunted by the ghosts of past failures and the realization that this killer is not only elusive but disturbingly methodical. Each new discovery draws her further into a web of deception, betrayal, and dark secrets buried in the past. The investigation takes a personal toll as she struggles to maintain a semblance of normalcy in her life, balancing her intense career with the fragile relationships she holds dear.
With each passing day, the killer grows bolder, and the detective must confront her own demons to outwit a predator who seems always to be one step ahead. In a race against time, she must piece together the fragments of a shattered puzzle before the killer strikes again, revealing a truth more horrifying than she ever imagined.
