THE LEAFEATER

A young check-cashing clerk stumbles upon a serial killer's latest victim, leading her to make a dangerous choice - become his next target to bring him down. As she transforms herself into his perfect prey, she discovers the true horror may not be in catching the notorious "Leafeater," but in losing herself in the process.

For twelve years, young women have been found posed like works of art across the city, their bodies unmarked, their last breaths stolen. When Colby Saunders discovers victim number thirteen in an empty lot, something shifts inside her. Armed with newspaper archives and a switchblade, she begins a calculated transformation - changing her hair, her clothes, her habits - everything that might catch a murderer's eye.

As Colby delves deeper into the Leafeater's world, other mysteries surface. A mansion filled with dark secrets. An art shop owner and his peculiar partner. A massive enforcer who seems to be everywhere she turns. Meanwhile Detective Jack Hallow, the handsome lead officer on the case, wants her to stop before she gets too close, though his own motives remain unclear.

When Colby finally attracts the killer's attention, she finds herself in a maze of horrors where she must face an impossible choice. The only way to catch a monster may be to become one herself. But in this deadly game of predator and prey, who is really hunting whom? A haunting exploration of obsession, justice, and the price we pay for emergence.
