Detective Mara Ellison hunts a ritualistic killer who believes he is divinely “cleansing” the broken, only to discover she has become the centerpiece of his twisted doctrine. As Daniel Voss escalates from private murders to public spectacle, Mara must confront both his growing network of believers and the guilt he tries to weaponize against her. In a final act of psychological warfare beneath the lights of a city vigil, she refuses to break—shattering his illusion of righteousness but leaving the hunt far from over.
