Exit

NYPD Detective Bill Blake is fighting a losing battle against the ghosts of his past. A once-decorated officer now scraping through each day in a haze of guilt and addiction, Blake clings desperately to his fragile sobriety and his growing attachment to Mary, a conflicted confidential informant who offers him a fleeting glimpse of hope. But Blake’s fragile world shatters when Anton Leonard — a wheelchair-bound ex-con Blake crippled during a violent confrontation years ago — moves into the apartment next door. Haunted by old sins and unable to separate reality from paranoia, Blake finds himself drawn into a deadly web of corruption, betrayal, and escalating violence, as a string of murders tied to a forgotten heist threatens to drag him under. As pressures mount from all sides — the department, Internal Affairs, his own conscience — Blake spirals deeper into obsession. Convinced Leonard is orchestrating his downfall, Blake must confront not only the vengeful specters of the past, but the terrifying possibility that the real enemy may be closer than he ever imagined. EXIT is a dark, brooding psychological thriller that explores guilt, redemption, and the fine line between justice and madness. ******************The REVIEWS are in on EXIT*************** "...writing is good, character descriptions are done well...
