This is about a freelance private investigator Edgar Pearce, who had lived his whole life embroiled in chaos and dangerous events at the backdrop of New York City. One day, he accepted a seemingly ordinary job that tasked him to snap some pictures of an affair, only to end up being involved in a bigger scheme. Stunned by the scene, he got spotted and eventually shot in the back. However, that was when the dull necklace that had always been with him started activating upon being dyed crimson red.
