In the rain-slicked, mid-20th century metropolis, Jake "The Ghost" Riley is a private investigator haunted by more than just the city's shadows—he's haunted by his own forgotten past. Plagued by gaping holes in his memory, Jake takes on a case investigating the secret life of a prominent socialite, a decision that will shatter the fragile reality he clings to. As he navigates the city's opulent penthouses and grimy alleyways, the lines between hunter and hunted blur, and the face staring back from the mirror begins to resemble the very person he's been searching for. Fragmented memories surface like ghosts, hinting at a life he desperately tries to suppress, while a seductive femme fatale from his past offers cryptic clues that only deepen his confusion. With a corrupt detective actively obstructing his every move to protect a powerful family, Jake must confront the chilling possibility that he is not just uncovering a crime, but piecing together his own confession. "The Ghost in the Mirror" is a gripping descent into a fractured psyche, a noir mystery where the greatest enigma is the man himself, and redemption can only be found by facing the devastating truth of his own culpability.
