In some towns, the dead stay buried. In this one… they file complaints.

When a routine death turns into a ritual gone wrong, the last thing anyone expects is for the victim to come back—not alive, not at peace, and definitely not quiet about it.

Welcome to a town where magic isn’t just real—it’s regulated, recorded, and occasionally… weaponized.

When bodies start showing up marked by tampered rites and broken protections, it becomes clear this isn’t an accident. Someone is interfering with the sacred systems that keep the boundary between life and death intact—and they know exactly how to twist it.

As the investigation deepens, secrets buried in old rituals begin to surface. Alliances strain. Trust fractures. And the line between guardian and culprit starts to blur.

Because in a town built on rules…

Breaking them isn’t just dangerous. It’s deadly.
