Twelve victims.Twelve signs.A countdown no one can stop. When a series of ritualistic murders begins, each marked by a zodiac symbol and a precise number of bullets, the city is thrown into fear. Every crime is calculated. Every clue is intentional. Detective Arjun Veylan, the department’s most trusted investigator, is assigned to uncover the truth. Brilliant and composed, he quickly identifies a pattern others fail to see—the killer is counting down. But this is no ordinary murderer. The victims are connected by a past buried in silence. A past of violence. A past of guilt. As the investigation deepens, Arjun finds himself drawn closer to a truth that threatens to destroy everything he believes in. Because this isn’t just a case. It’s a reckoning. And by the time the countdown reaches zero…justice will come at a cost no one can escape.
