Description

A gritty, character-driven crime thriller

Diego Hernandez, a jaded private investigator, is no stranger to the dark corners of the city. But when his past collides with his fractured family, the stakes rise higher than ever.

Haunted by guilt, Diego struggles to balance his role as a father to his young daughter Leti and a relentless detective chasing a high-stakes jewel heist. His personal demons, from his estranged ex-wife to a slew of old grudges, weigh heavily on him as he works to crack a case that might cost him everything.

When a powerful psychic, Talmul Ali, enters the scene, manipulating grief and exploiting the wealthy, Diego must navigate a web of deceit and danger. With his family unraveling and his reputation on the line, Diego races to uncover the truth behind a deadly conspiracy-one that could tear apart everything he’s ever known. In this gritty neo-noir thriller, loyalty, betrayal, and redemption blur as Diego Hernandez confronts the ghosts of his past-and the bloody cost of his future.
