Angelus

Balance demands sacrifice.

When a pair of ritualistic murders stuns Los Angeles, veteran detective Sam Rourke knows something isn't right. The bodies are posed. The patterns deliberate. And the message-buried in blood, symbols, and silence-is older than the city itself.

Partnered with sharp, unflinching Olivia Mercer, the case drags them into a labyrinth of forgotten history, Indigenous cosmology, and a doctrine born from ancient fear. At the center of it all is Benjamin Harlan-a man who doesn't see himself as a killer, but as a vessel for something far worse.

The city pulses with unrest. Protesters flood the streets. And the murders aren't just escalating-they're aligning.

As the third act approaches, Liv and Sam must confront a terrifying truth: they're not chasing a killer.

They're interrupting a ritual.

Part occult thriller, part procedural noir, Angelus is a dark, unflinching descent into what happens when belief festers, history repeats, and someone decides the city must bleed to be made whole.
