When a young girl's world shatters in tragedy during the Jazz Age, a principled cop becomes her unlikely protector—but their connection is severed by forces determined to keep secrets buried. Fifteen years later, when a serial killer terrorizes Depression-era Cleveland, fate brings them back together, and Michael discovers that Dani possesses an uncanny insight into the darkness surrounding these crimes. As they work to unmask a killer, the chemistry between them crackles with the weight of their shared past and the danger closing in around them. This is a beautifully atmospheric mystery-romance that explores how two broken souls can find healing and purpose in each other while racing against evil itself.

Haunting jazz noir meets tender melancholy—smoky saxophone, soft strings, and indie folk whispers. Dark mysteries wrapped in bittersweet longing. Think Billie Holiday's shadows, Nick Drake's ache, and orchestral suspense. Secrets, second chances, and chemistry simmering beneath the surface.
