Rain-Soaked – Out Now

Ex-detective Marti Starova is a walking contradiction – a brilliant investigator whose career imploded after a notorious criminal escaped on her watch. Now she’s a private investigator with a Shadow addiction, a gun in her drawer, and a reputation for getting results when the system fails.

When wealthy socialite Francesca Stanfield hires Marti to find her missing teenage daughter Serra, what starts as a routine case quickly reveals disturbing connections to an insurance fraud scheme. Security footage shows Serra’s last moments at an ATM, but something about the video doesn’t add up.

Working alongside her loyal secretary Lori Harring – who’s clearly carrying a torch for her damaged boss – Marti uncovers a web of corruption involving doctored surveillance footage and a growing body count. The case becomes personal when she discovers connections to Damian Kane, her former police partner who betrayed her years ago.

As evidence mounts, Marti begins to question whether she’s been manipulated from the start. Dangerous family connections put the case in an entirely new light, and when an attempt on their lives narrowly fails, Marti realizes someone powerful is orchestrating events from the shadows.

Through rain-slicked streets and neon-lit interrogations, Marti pursues answers with reckless determination, even as her addiction threatens to derail her. Her complicated relationship with Lori provides moments of unexpected tenderness amid the brutality.

With time running out and deadly threats closing in, Marti must confront not just external enemies but her own demons, questioning everything she believes about justice and redemption.

Rain-Soaked is a gritty noir thriller that doesn’t flinch from darkness, exploring how the past shapes us and how sometimes the only way to find light is to wade deeper into the shadows.
