Panopticon has never been safer. That’s what Johnathan Serpico, newly appointed Chief of Police, tells his wife before she’s slaughtered on the train platform. There’s blood on his hands, and it doesn’t belong to Maria. Someone has to be held responsible, and Johnathan is holding the axe. To keep their son safe, he must bury the truth or face first-degree murder charges.

Panoptes Inc. burnt to the ground that night, killing ten and devastating the city. Johnathan is convinced Maria wasn’t the only victim of the long necked man. Without evidence to convict, his investigation is dead in the water until a new lead arrives as Nathaniel Gilman. His mother went missing on the night of the fire, and Johnathan believes she’s the missing piece he’s been searching for.
