Synopsis

Riley Martin has fought hard to become the man he is today. But becoming yourself doesn’t erase the past—especially when the people who once knew you used that past as a weapon. Years after surviving the violence and betrayal that tore his life apart, Riley is done being silent. He’s hunting down those who hurt him, one by one, reclaiming every piece of himself they tried to destroy. Identity. Autonomy. Truth. But revenge is never clean. As detectives close in and buried secrets rise to the surface, Riley discovers his past wasn’t just marked by transphobia and cruelty—it was shaped by something far darker. Because beneath the skin, everyone carries wounds. Some heal. Some haunt. Some turn deadly. A gripping, character-driven thriller about identity, resilience, and the price of becoming who you truly are.
