Where light fails, darkness reveals the buried secrets of the past.

Haunted by the shadows of his past, Detective Jasper Sheridan stands at the precipice of a case that might shatter the fragile peace he's carved for himself over the years. A past steeped in sorrow, pain, and the cold, unsettling mystery of his mother's unsolved murder. A wound left to fester and echo through the hallways of his memory.

Jasper is no ordinary detective; he is blind. His world is not constructed of colors or images, but of sounds, scents, and tactile impressions. It's a world where the faintest whisper of a clue can scream louder than a neon sign. The smallest fracture in a sequence of events is a sharp edge to his finely tuned senses. In a field where everyone else relies on sight, his blindness does not hinder him. Instead, it lends him an unparalleled perception, a unique clarity in piecing together the jigsaw puzzles of crime.

His latest case is eerily unsettling – Carrie Rydon, a woman found lifeless in the stark isolation of a parking lot, the life choked out of her. The modus operandi is chillingly methodical, meticulous to the point of perfection. It screams of a killer who delights in leaving no trace, no imprint, no face in the shadow.

With every new detail Jasper uncovers, he's forced to confront the chilling parallels with his mother's murder. The similarity of the cases tugs at the cobwebs of his buried memories, threatening to pull him back into the past he's worked so hard to leave behind. Will he unravel this sinister thread that ties him back to the darkest corner of his life? Or will the past continue to be a ghost he can't exorcise?

The blind detective, Jasper Sheridan, is at the crossroads of his darkest memories and his sworn duty. The road ahead promises an intricate dance between shadows of the past and the cold, hard facts of the present. But for Jasper, the case of Carrie Rydon isn't just another investigation; it's a chilling echo of his past, a stark reminder of the ghosts he still needs to lay to rest. It's a journey into the very heart of the darkness he's been running from.
