You're a homicide detective in Mirage Bay — a sprawling coastal city in Southern California, circa 2015. A Tuesday night call: two men dead at a strip club. The owner in his office, the shooter beside him. Looks like a gang hit. Should close fast.

It doesn't. The deeper you dig, the more suspects surface — people close to the victim, business rivals, and officials who should have had no connection to a strip club murder. The evidence keeps pointing in multiple directions. Every thread you pull opens another. And the question stops being who pulled the trigger and becomes something harder: who do you believe?
