A wave of brutal murders sweeps through the shadowed streets of Philodendron. Each crime scene bears the hallmarks of two distinct killers-one seemingly random, the other driven by biblical obsession-leaving local authorities blind and baffled.
Detective Wayne Evans appears without warning or explanation, his transfer paperwork as cryptic as the crimes he's tasked to solve. Initially drawn to investigate a high-profile case with political undertones, his inquiry spirals into an intricate web of killings as election day looms. Each murder grows more savage than the last, connected by a methodology becoming increasingly bold.
With every lead ending in silence and death, Evans must decipher the cryptic messages hidden within biblical verses before the next body falls. Time is running out as he's forced to match wits with a killer bearing a fractured soul-a predator whose religious fervor masks a far more calculated purpose.
