Mayor Sam Carter is the last hope for a city teetering on the edge of collapse. But his polished public image hides a dangerous truth: he is also The Retaliator, a masked vigilante whose methods are as dark as the city's alleyways.
His double life is shattered when two ghosts from his past resurface, not just to haunt him, but to burn Fairview to the ground.
• The Burnt Man: A monstrous killer, forged by the shadowy Olympus organisation and tied to Sam's darkest secret, leaving a trail of scorched silhouettes across the city.
• Mr Smile: An enigmatic figure in a cracked porcelain mask who hacks into the city's screens, broadcasting collective trauma to ignite a terrifying, city-wide madness.
Both villains know The Retaliator's face. Both are driven by vengeance for a single, unforgivable night that Sam wishes he could forget. As the line between the Mayor and the vigilante disintegrates, Sam must confront the terrifying truth: the only way to save Fairview is to finally pay the price for the devastating guilt he carries.
In Fairview, the shadows don't just follow you—they wear a mask. Can Sam outrun the consequences of his own history, or will guilt and shadows finally consume him?
