Carnival of Lost Shadows

In the fictional nation of Eldoria, on the island of Corvalis, the annual Masked Carnivale is a sacred week of lawless abandon. When the Supreme Tribunal commutes a death sentence for a serial child-killer, the ruling is met with a collective, ritualistic horror that bleeds into the streets. Two young sleuths from the capital, sent to investigate judicial misconduct, find themselves caught in a festival where the entire town seems complicit in a series of fresh, brutal sacrifices. As masks conceal faces, a terrifying truth emerges: a group of vigilante executioners is using the carnivale as cover to "cleanse" the island. The investigation becomes a dark psychological labyrinth, where every criminal profile sketches not just a murderer, but the silhouette of a divine justice abandoned by God, revealing a community's descent into a single, demonic consciousness.
