“Things would go missing in this city and no one seemed to remember they’d ever existed let alone care where they’d gone.”
September 1994;
in a sprawling, decaying city where shadows cling to every corner and corruption runs deep, the lives of two unlikely protagonists become inextricably linked by a chilling web of crime and long-buried secrets.
Faith Blair is haunted by personal demons and a tragic family past. Her life is complicated by a tumultuous relationship with Ryan, a street-hardened Irish gang member, and the lingering, dangerous allure of her ex, Demian, a charismatic figure tied to the city's ruthless Russian mafia.
When her best friend, Siobhan, mysteriously vanishes after taking a shady job to 'film a video', Faith is dragged into a desperate search that reveals a dark network of illicit operations involving young girls. Her quest for answers pulls her into treacherous territory, from abandoned mansions, to the heart of escalating gang wars between crime syndicates vying for control.
Meanwhile, Detective Leonard Mannion finds his own career derailed when his investigation into the brutal murder of Jessica Waltham, the daughter of a prominent city family, uncovers powerful interests determined to silence him. Teaming up with disgraced private investigator Stan Sikorski, Mannion delves into a chilling pattern of missing homeless individuals and battles against an unseen network of power that seeks to bury the truth.
Navigating betrayals and peeling back layers of deceit, they uncover a conspiracy far more pervasive and terrifying than they could have imagined.
