When a devastating nightclub attack shatters the lives of all involved, bartender Harper Flynn becomes the sole witness to a terrifying crime that leaves bodies and unanswered questions in its wake. As the city reels from the violence, Harper’s own memories are clouded by trauma, yet one chilling certainty remains: the most dangerous perpetrator is still at large, invisible to all but her.
