Description

Colby walks the woods with a calculated calm, smoking, planning, and burying his evidence like a ritual. He believes his meticulous scheme will outsmart Detective Sergeant Nesbit, a legend in the small town for never letting a case go cold. Yet the moment his road intersects with the detective’s, the uneasy balance of power shifts in an instant.

As the old Ford rattles toward town, hidden passengers stare, and Nesbit’s steady, heavy voice cuts through the tension. The driver’s casual chatter masks a mounting sense of dread that both men try to ignore. Listeners are invited into a slow‑burning cat‑and‑mouse game where every detail matters and the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur.
