When the FBI receives a series of chilling Braille messages revealing the locations of murdered victims, they call in private investigator Colt Mercer-a man known for solving the impossible. But Colt has one problem: he can't read Braille. The first decoded message changes everything. The killer demands that Colt blind himself, claiming only those who live in true darkness can understand the remaining encrypted clues. And with more victims missing, Colt makes an unthinkable sacrifice. Now navigating a world without sight, Colt begins to unlock the killer's labyrinth of tactile codes-each one leading to a new body, each puzzle dragging him deeper into obsession. But the final message reveals a horror he never saw coming: the last body is hidden in his own basement. Suddenly Colt is no longer the investigator-he's the prime suspect. As the FBI closes in, the truth surfaces: the killer has been befriending Colt's blind daughter, using her innocent hands to craft the codes that frame him. With time running out and his life unraveling, Colt must prove his innocence and uncover the real monster hiding in the dark.
