โฆ Synopsis
The police know his name and where he lives. They have the evidence and the bloodied bodies of the women they say he killed. There's just one thing they don't know about John Murdoch: he's their only hope.
It's like no place you've ever been before. Where time stops and starts again. Where lies are the truths, truths are lies, and even memory is a hoax. And in this place where light has vanished and strangers rule, a man named Murdoch is accused of murder and labeled insane. But Murdoch is the only one who can stop the evil that has taken over -- as long as he can stay alive.
