The vibe

When a chance encounter sparks an unlikely connection between rival killers Sloane and Rowan, they find something rare: the camaraderie of two pitch-black souls who share a taste for hunting other serial killers. What starts as a twisted kind of kinship turns into an annual game of blood and carnage—one that drags them from small-town West Virginia to glamorous California, from downtown Boston to rural Texas, always chasing deadlier monsters than the last.
But the more their bond deepens into something real, the more dangerous the fallout becomes. The ghosts they leave behind don’t stay quiet—and what’s closing in threatens to take more than their freedom. Because in a world built on violence and secrets, love doesn’t make you safer. It makes you a target.
