A young journalist chases the trail of a series of brutal killings that no one seems willing to talk about. Between deadlines and hospital visits, she records everything-until the story she's been chasing started chasing her back.
She's keeping a secret. So is the city, tucked away in its noise.
A gothic horror-romance told through journal entries, late-night confessions, and the quiet unraveling of a woman caught between truth, death, and something far stranger.
