The premise

Working in the shadow of an esteemed police veteran, brash Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks and his rookie partner take charge of a grisly investigation into murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city’s gruesome past. Unwittingly entrapped in a deepening mystery, Zeke finds himself at the center of the killer’s morbid game.

Horror Vault's take

When a series of elaborately staged murders begins targeting members of the police force, sharp-tongued detective Zeke Banks finds himself pulled into an investigation that hits uncomfortably close to home. Working alongside a rookie partner and under the long shadow of his decorated father, Zeke soon realizes the killer isn't just hunting cops — they're sending a message. This franchise spin-off trades the dungeon traps of its predecessors for a grim urban procedural skin, blending police thriller tension with the signature brutality Saw fans expect. The deeper Zeke digs, the more the city's rotten foundations are exposed — and the more personal the game becomes.
