Kane Keil is just your average guy from San Francisco: a pencil pusher, has a couple of friends, likes to play video games in his spare time, and loves his overbearing mother. One night, he takes his mother out for dinner in a rather fancy restaurant, where she proceeds to embarrass him at every turn. Seeking some reprieve from her, he hunts around in the restaurant for his friend, Nick, more of an acquaintance really, that he bumped into on his way to their table. Unfortunately for Kane, looking for his friend sets the ball rolling on a series of events that he finds himself smack dab in the center of—being framed for the murder of a woman found in the restaurant basement, and as the notorious serial killer The Night Slasher, no less! Worse yet, his friend Nick and his mother, Jeri, are missing too!

Ensnared in a trap where the police just want to find a culprit after twenty years of hunting this guy, Kane struggles to assert his innocence and find the real culprit, and his mother, and it doesn’t help that the LC on the case, Mona, is an attractive woman to boot.

Told from different perspectives, The Night Slasher is a classic take on the cat-and-mouse game between witness and killer, but with a twist. On one side is a man desperate to assert his innocence and find his mother, on the other is a monster who has crushing secrets and nothing to hide. Can Kane find the real killer, and, more importantly, can he save his mother in time?
