Quick Synopsis
In a dark city plagued by a series of disturbing murders, Detective Eddie Argo and his new partner Helen Westcott investigate bodies found mutilated, some marked with the Price equation (wΔz = Cov (w,z) = βwzVz) carved into their skin. As they delve deeper, they discover that each victim was forced to confront a brutal choice: kill someone they love or be killed themselves. The detectives also uncover that the killer has endured a similar ordeal and is now trying to resolve this grim moral conflict, which drives the ongoing violence.
Detailed Synopsis of WΔZ
There is something horribly wrong with the bodies found in the dark city streets. Some are mutilated while others have the Price equation (wΔz = Cov (w,z) = βwzVz) carved into their flesh. Detective Eddie Argo and his new partner Helen Westcott unearth the meaning of the odd equation and realise each victim is being offered a gruesome choice: kill your loved ones, or be killed. Before long it becomes clear that the perpetrator has suffered a similar fate and is now coping by seeking a way to solve this philosophical dilemma.
