Kennedy is haunted by the unsolved disappearance of her father, a victim of the notorious serial killer known as “The Carver.” Ten years later, she launches a true-crime podcast with her best friend, hoping to finally uncover the truth and find closure. However, the podcast’s debut immediately draws the attention of a dangerous, masked predator who begins stalking her with chilling notes and twisted gifts. This dark stalker romance follows the intense psychological game between Kennedy and the man she believes is The Carver. As he infiltrates her home and her life, Kennedy discovers that he has been watching her for years, waiting for the perfect moment to claim his prize. While her survival instincts demand she run, Kennedy harbors a secret, dark fascination with the very man who terrifies her. Caught in a web of obsession, Kennedy must navigate her growing attraction to her tormentor while questioning those closest to her—including her stepbrother, her psychiatrist, and the detective assigned to her father’s case. As the line between investigator and victim blurs, Kennedy finds herself trapped in a high-stakes, lethal game where she must decide whether to expose the monster or surrender to his dark desires.
