A young forensic examiner steps into her first homicide case and finds a body drained of blood, marked with wounds that look more like surgery than murder. As the investigation closes in on a hospital, a vanished past begins clawing its way back into her life, forcing her to confront secrets she thought were buried forever. In a city divided between glittering light and shadow, every clue points to someone skilled enough to cut with precision-and cruel enough to turn the human body into a message.
