Eve Duncan has found purpose in her pain—as a forensic sculptor, she gives faces back to the forgotten dead, a calling born from the unsolved disappearance of her own daughter. When the charming and mysterious billionaire John Logan brings her a skull to reconstruct, she has no idea she's about to uncover something far deadlier than grief. As a haunting face emerges beneath her talented hands, Eve realizes she's stumbled onto secrets that powerful people will kill to keep buried. This gripping thriller weaves together Eve's determination to seek truth with the electric tension of her partnership with Logan, all while danger closes in from every direction.

Dark, suspenseful soundscapes with tension-building indie and alternative rock. Mix moody vocals (Florence + The Machine, Massive Attack) with cinematic orchestral elements. Layer in sultry, dangerous pop (The Weeknd, Portishead). Atmospheric and haunting—perfect for piecing together secrets in shadows.
