In the decaying city of Marrowbridge, former detective Elias Vane walks the streets as something less than a man and more than a ghost. After dying in a warehouse fire under mysterious circumstances, Elias returned with a terrible gift — the ability to absorb the final memories of anyone he kills. Haunted by visions and driven by guilt, he becomes a shadowy vigilante, hunting the city’s hidden evils and searching for answers to his own impossible resurrection. When a series of ritualistic killings grips the city, Elias is drawn into a cat-and-mouse game with a prophetic cult leader known only as The Architect, who believes Elias is the key to "awakening" humanity through death. As Elias uncovers twisted truths buried in the minds of the dead, he must confront not only the sinister plan threatening to unravel the fabric between life and death — but also the memory of a murder he doesn’t remember committing... his own.
