Leo Stone’s past casts a long shadow over the quiet town where he now resides. After being convicted for the brutal murders of two women, he is serving a life sentence that seems locked away in the past. But that is only the beginning of Leo’s story. As the anniversary of his conviction approaches, chilling details from his case resurface, igniting public outrage and reigniting the search for the truth.
Detective Maeve Kerrigan, determined and fiercely intelligent, finds herself drawn back to the complexities of the case. As she investigates the dark corners of Leo’s life and the chilling events that led to his arrest, she uncovers evidence that suggests a different narrative. The more she delves into the details, the more she questions whether Leo is truly the monster everyone perceives him to be or if there are deeper, more sinister forces at play.
Amid suspense and gripping twists, Maeve faces her own demons as she untangles a web of betrayal, lies, and cruelty that leads her to confront the nature of justice itself. With time running out, she realizes that the truth might not only change Leo’s fate but also put her own life in peril.
