In a corner of the city that had been abandoned for many years and neglected, Barrack Street finally received a large-scale excavation project. No one expected that this project would reveal a long-standing horrific history - the skeletons of six men were dug out one after another. Their hands and feet were tied, and their deaths were miserable. They were obviously violently killed. Judging from the decay of the skeletons, these murders occurred decades, even centuries, ago.
However, when the seventh body appears, everything becomes unusual. Detective Alice McCann could tell at a glance that this body was completely different from the previous ones. First of all, this is a female corpse; secondly, her death time is obviously closer. Alice is determined to find out the identity of this mysterious woman, uncover the real culprit, and bring her to justice. Alice, who has experienced a series of setbacks and has reached a low point in life and career, also vaguely feels that this case may be an opportunity for her to get back on track.
But she didn't know that there was a powerful dark force blocking her way ahead. Although the city of Cork is small, it hides countless secret connections. Many former friends now live completely different lives. However, their common past and the unknown secrets have tightly bound them together and become many obstacles for Alice in her pursuit of the truth. As she gets closer to the truth step by step, she discovers that everyone around her seems to be hiding something. How can she break through the fog and find the answer hidden in the darkness?
