False Light

Trust the evidence... until it leads you into the dark.

Veteran homicide detective Jonah Kessler has made a career out of bending the truth to get results. He plants evidence, nudges suspects toward confessions, and believes the ends justify the means—until one gruesome murder unravels everything he thought he controlled.

A red thread left at the crime scene becomes more than a clue—it’s a warning. As the bodies pile up and suspects vanish, Kessler finds himself haunted by cryptic messages, missing time, and the chilling suspicion that someone is orchestrating reality itself.

The deeper he digs, the more the line blurs between memory and manipulation. Old cases resurface. Colleagues turn cold. And a faceless puppeteer pulls strings behind the scenes, forcing Kessler to confront a terrifying question:

What if the evidence he once planted was planted against him?

Inspired by the gritty noir of L.A. Confidential and the psychological twists of Shutter Island, False Light is a haunting tale of control, fear, and the lies we tell ourselves to stay sane.

Nothing is what it seems. Not the truth. Not even you.
