As secrets peek from under cards held close to the chest, Alec faces a choice—play the hand dealt or fold under pressure. The enigmatic Mr. Suede wants information he doesn't have and allies he can't trust. Yet, in the unforgiving haze of noir, even the smallest card can change the game.
 
Entangled in a web of deceit and blood, Alec steps into an old house and an even older mystery. With each face-off, the stakes rise. Welcome to a world where the only way out is further in, and every move twists the story tighter.
