Boston drowns its sins in rain. Salem keeps the receipts.
Celeste Duvall spends her days transcribing the testimony of killers, thieves, and liars inside Boston's Superior Court. She knows how justice sounds when it's dressed up in evidence-and how hollow it rings when the guilty walk free. When a string of brutal murders mirrors cases she once recorded, she becomes the quiet link no one notices.
Detective Elias Shaw notices.
Fresh from a disciplinary transfer out of New York after a botched case left him questioning his instincts, he's desperate for redemption-and haunted by a pattern he can't unsee. Every lead points toward one man: Silas Kade, a disbarred attorney with charm sharp enough to cut and a reputation steeped in scandal.
But Silas isn't a stranger.
He and Celeste share a past neither has fully admitted to-an unspoken tether that reignites when their paths cross again. Elias sees a woman caught in a predator's web and vows to save her before she becomes the next victim.
Yet the deeper he digs, the more the lines blur: between savior and suspect, protection and obsession, justice and temptation.
And beneath the rain-soaked streets, something older than law is watching-waiting to balance the scales.
