Detective Inspector Paige Arla has a secret she never shares.
Sometimes, the dead speak to her.
When people begin vanishing across the city, the cases seem unrelated—different victims, different locations, no clear pattern. But Paige keeps hearing the same fragments of fear, the same unfinished thoughts, and the same name whispered in the dark: the Keeper.
As Paige and her partner Amir dig deeper, they uncover a hidden operation using forgotten places—abandoned yards, sealed buildings, spaces no one watches anymore. Victims aren’t just killed. They’re controlled, moved, and erased.
The Keeper never rushes.
He never panics.
And he always knows when he’s being watched.
When the case ends in gunfire and a fall into dark water, there is no body to recover—only silence.
Officially, the case is closed.
But the dead don’t stop whispering.
And Paige knows this was only the beginning.
