Soon after, a fisherman pulls the brutally tortured body of Tommy's best friend, Bobby Portilla, from the ocean.Veteran detective Al Esposito knows this isn't a simple murder. As whispers of strange figures in the mist and unexplained nights along the coast surface, the case begins to point toward something darker-and far more dangerous-than anyone is prepared to face.At the center of it all is Tommy, a gender-fluid teenager struggling to understand who he is while grappling with guilt, fear, and a past he can no longer remember.
