In the heart of the city, where wealth and privilege intertwine with the dark underbelly of society, lies a tangled web of deceit and betrayal. James Wayland, scion of a powerful textile empire, finds himself entangled in a scandalous affair when the lifeless body of a prostitute named Elizabeth is discovered, gruesomely severed in two. Assigned to the case are the seasoned Detective Edward Kennesaw, whose own demons fuel his pursuit of justice, and his rookie partner Phillip Braxton, whose mounting debts threaten to consume him. As they delve deeper into the mystery, they find themselves ensnared in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with Wayland, a man whose wealth and influence afford him the means to manipulate the truth and conceal his darkest secrets. But as the investigation unfolds, the lines between perpetrator and victim blur, and the detectives must confront their own vulnerabilities in a race against time to unravel the truth before it's too late.
