Once upon a time, Boston, Massachusetts, was marred by period of decay and rampant crime. Yet, as time progressed, a remarkable transformation swept through the city, turning it into a thriving epicentre. Modern apartment complexes sprang up, luring wealthy professionals and giving rise to an era of prosperity. Boston's identity shifted, gaining the reputation of an urban utopia where expensive residential towers stood tall, many of which came with the protection of a security team. In 2017, however, a gruesome crime was uncovered in one of these penthouses, sending shockwaves throughout the city.
