SYNOPSIS
People are dying in impossible ways. At each crime scene, security footage catches the same face committing unspeakable violence, transforming victims into something worse than dead. The woman tasked with supernatural law enforcement tracks down her suspect, only to find him denying everything with genuine desperation in his eyes. He's innocent, or so he claims, which means someone is wearing his face and murdering across the city. With an arrest warrant from the underworld itself hanging over his head, he strikes a deal: she helps him find the real killer, and he'll help her close a case that shouldn't exist. Their investigation pulls them deeper into a web of corruption and dark magic, revealing connections neither expected. Each answer births new questions. Each clue feels deliberately placed. Someone wants them moving down this exact path, and the closer they get to the truth, the more obvious it becomes that this conspiracy runs far deeper than two people solving a crime. They're pieces being moved on someone else's board.
