Rookie Detective Veronica Shade experiences the world in a way no one else can.

Her rare condition, multi-modal synesthesia, lets her hear whispers of deceit, smell the scent of fear, and see the aura of hidden guilt. A secret she's kept hidden, her talent has catapulted her to being one of Oregon’s youngest and most promising detectives, at the cost of any semblance of a normal social life.

When a young woman is found hanging from the rafters of a local Sheriff’s home, it's quickly ruled a suicide. But Veronica’s senses scream murder.

As another apparent suicide surfaces in an adjacent county, Veronica is convinced they're not just connected, but the work of a sadistic killer just beginning his reign of terror.

In a race against time, Veronica must hunt down a merciless killer whose victims seem to eerily mirror fragments of her own forgotten past. As she delves deeper, it becomes clear that her unique gift might be a double-edged sword—one that could cost her a chance at a normal life and make her the killer’s next victim.
