Smile Case

In a grim, decaying city plagued by rising crime and moral collapse, a string of brutal and bizarre killings sends shockwave through the population. Each murder is different, some are messy, others surgical. Men, women, children and even the elderly – no one is safe, and no patterns connects the victims. The only common thread? At each scene, the killer leaves a yellow rubber ball with a hand-painted sinister smile — the smileball. The media spirals into hysteria, calling the killer 'The smile', while police are left paralyzed by the sheer randomness of the murders. Leading the investigation is Detective Leo, a logical and seasonal detective, with his partner Alex, a shy and quiet officer. And his childhood best friend. ———— Finished
