Tagline: His mother stole his childhood. Now, every woman pays the price.

Short Summary:
Mature sex workers across the city are disappearing — and when their bodies resurface days later, the scenes are horrifying. They’ve been held captive, subjected to hours of calculated cruelty, each one forced to endure a sinister ritual before meeting a brutal end. The community reels in fear. The police scramble for leads.

What no one knows is that Thomas Hale walks among them, quiet and unassuming. By day, he blends in seamlessly with the world around him. But by night, Thomas becomes something else entirely: a man driven by the ghost of his mother’s touch.

Each woman he takes is held for days, forced to replay the twisted dynamic that destroyed him as a boy. Night after night, Thomas sits across from his trembling captive, voice raw, eyes wet with memory, demanding the answer that has haunted him for decades:  “Why did you hurt me?”

As detectives close in, the true horror comes to light — Thomas’s mother didn’t just abuse him, she seduced and broke him in ways most can’t fathom. Now, Thomas is locked in a cycle of agony and revenge, trying to punish stand-ins for the one woman who ruined him.

This is not just a hunt for a killer. It’s an unsettling journey into the shattered mind of a man whose childhood was stolen — and who will do anything to make someone pay.
