Sad, dark, ugly story. Three year after John Blake solved his ex-girlfriend's murder, he's retired from being a PI and gone back to school. When one of his classmates commits suicide, John is convinced its murder. From there, his life spirals out of control, going darker and more bloody with each confrontation. The reveal at the end is truly sick and disgusting, but it made sense.
