Pieces of the past
A series of grotesque, ritualistic murders plunges East Providence, Rhode Island, into fear. Victims are dismembered and meticulously staged, suggesting a calculated cruelty designed to shock both law enforcement and the public. Initially thought to be the work of a modern serial killer, the investigation uncovers a far more disturbing truth.
Veteran detective Lieutenant Josh Williams discovers a chilling link to a long-forgotten crime: a child’s kidnapping and murder from the 1970s, quietly mishandled and politically suppressed. As old records, witness accounts, and new forensic evidence resurface, he is forced to confront buried secrets, not only about the city’s past but also about his own history and the compromises of justice he has long upheld.
With each new revelation, the line between past and present blurs. The detective must navigate a web of corruption, obsession, and hidden agendas, all while facing the psychological toll of confronting evil that spans decades. In a city gripped by terror, the past and present collide in a suspenseful and harrowing tale of crime, memory, and the dark forces that lurk beneath the surface of ordinary life.
