What price will you pay to escape your torments, when escape itself is a myth?

Underneath the mundane facade of high school life, Jacoby feels the pressure not just from great personal loss and teammates and teachers, but from a sinister shadow that threatens his very grasp on reality. When his world spirals into unrelenting madness, he's left questioning the nature of his tormentor-is the beast birthed from a fractured mind or has something supernatural taken hold?

Susan is driven by obsession, a lone detective with a past as enigmatic as the cases she pursues. Unraveling the threads of a mysterious curse, her life is an endless chase for an elusive and timeless serial killer. But in the labyrinth of secrecy and death, her quest is marred by an isolation as profound as her discoveries.

As the paths of a harried student and a dogged investigator entwine, their daunting journey reveals a wicked force beyond human imagination. Ancient and unrelenting, the specter they face shatters every illusion, beckoning them closer to a dark truth suffused with danger and immortality.

Can Jacoby and Susan conquer their own torments in time, or will they become the haunted-and the hunted-victims of an evil bred from the depths of eternity?
