Detective Adrian Cross, a man haunted by the mistakes of his past, is called to investigate a string of murders that seem to carry no connection. But as the trail deepens, he uncovers signs of a vast, unseen network pulling the city’s strings—one that has already destroyed countless lives, including his former partner’s.
