Sinopse

In the shadow of San Francisco's gleaming skyscrapers, a chilling terror takes root.  When celebrated architect Victor Harper is found dead inside his latest creation—a tiny house prototype meant to revolutionize affordable living—the scene is not just tragic; it's a meticulously staged work of art, a macabre mockery of the very simplicity Harper championed.  Kimberly Jones, a housing researcher weary of bureaucratic indifference, recognizes the killer’s disturbing artistry, a chilling precision born from the desperation of the city's housing crisis.When a second victim, vibrant micro-dwelling advocate Katie Willis, meets a similarly staged end within her own meticulously designed tiny home, the connection is undeniable. The city's tiny house movement, once a beacon of hope, becomes a canvas for a killer’s twisted vision.  Driven by a gut feeling and a growing sense of dread, Kimberly embarks on her own investigation, partnering with cynical yet idealistic journalist Claudia Harmon and haunted detective Bryan Morales. Together, they delve into the seemingly idyllic world of alternative housing, unearthing coded blueprints, hidden messages, and a conspiracy far more intricate and sinister than they could have imagined.Their pursuit of justice exposes a web of power players—developers salivating over prime real estate, investors blinded by profit, and politicians entangled in a system of favors and kickbacks. As Kimberly, Claudia, and Bryan dig deeper, they become the next targets.  Each tiny house becomes a miniature stage, a diorama of death meticulously crafted by a shadowy figure known only as "The Architect."  Kimberly finds herself trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse, racing to unravel the conspiracy before becoming the final, perfectly arranged piece in the killer’s masterpiece.  From the gleaming towers of the financial district to the hidden alleyways of the Tenderloin, their investigation leads them through a labyrinth of misinformation, pushing them closer to the heart of a conspiracy that threatens to reshape the city's very landscape.  Can they expose the truth before "The Architect" reduces San Francisco to a chilling, perfectly designed, graveyard?

Not her area of expertise. But with help from Ryan’s former partner, Marner, she is unraveling the mystery of what happened to Ryan that day… and unwittingly putting herself in grave danger.
