Returning from a performance, William finds his daughter dead in her room. In an instant, his life falls apart. The next moment, the emotions he’s been holding inside awaken a power within him. Then William begins to see things that shouldn't exist. Masks appear beneath people's faces, revealing emotions they desperately try to hide. An interrogation room becomes a courtroom, lies have consequences, and reality itself seems to be changing around him. Before William can mourn his daughter, he is accused of her murder. His only leads are a mysterious black pendant and a stranger who claims that the world William knows is merely one layer of reality. To uncover the truth, William joins the Day and Night Oversight Department, an organization whose members hide secrets of their own. But the deeper William descends into this hidden world, the more he realizes that his daughter's murder may be connected to something far greater. Somewhere behind those masks is the man who killed her. William will find him. But first, he must discover what he has become.
