Description
Detective Constable Ash Henderson has a dark secret. Five years ago, his daughter Rebecca went missing on the eve of her thirteenth birthday. A year later, the first card arrived, with a Polaroid picture of Rebecca strapped to a chair, gagged and terrified. Every year, another card followed, each one worse than the last. The tabloids call him 'The Birthday Boy', a serial killer who targets girls just before their thirteenth birthday, killing them slowly and torturing their families with his homemade cards. Ash is determined to bring the killer to justice, but he's kept his true feelings about Rebecca's disappearance hidden from everyone, including his colleagues. He's sacrificed too much to give up now, and he's convinced that if anyone finds out what really happened to his daughter, he'll be taken off the investigation. As Ash delves deeper into the case, he's forced to confront his own demons and the true nature of his daughter's disappearance. Will he be able to uncover the truth behind 'The Birthday Boy's' sinister games, or will he become the killer's next victim?
