At his first Halloween party in LA, Adam Murphy hears a disturbing urban legend: a number of gay men from West Hollywood have gone missing without explanation, rumored to be victims of the West Hollywood Slasher. 

A mild curiosity for the legend soon spirals into obsession and Adam becomes fixated on the lives - and circumstances of the disappearances and murders thereof - of the victims of the Slasher. 

Light Before Day revisits the dark and menacing territory that Christopher Rice has made his own: exploring murder, obsession and sexual torment.
