Salem is plunged into turmoil as Rafe Hernandez, once the face of righteousness, loses his grip on morality.

The choices he’s made in the name of justice spiral into betrayal, leaving those closest to him questioning who he’s become.

The fallout spreads fast — every ally scorched, every trust turned to dust.

For Rafe, the devastation is soul-deep. The badge that once gave him purpose now feels like a curse.

He looks at himself and sees not a hero, but a man consumed by vengeance, haunted by decisions that can’t be undone.

This wasn’t just a mistake — it detonated into an existential collapse. What surfaced wasn’t merely guilt — it redefined what justice means in Salem, leaving behind a city unsure whether their protector has become their greatest threat. The consequences are irreversible, reshaping lives and destinies for years to come.

But Rafe refuses to disappear. He faces his sins head-on, determined to claw back a fragment of the man he used to be, even if it means walking through the fire he created. His redemption will demand more than forgiveness — it will demand blood.

This isn’t just a downfall — it’s the birth of a darker legend that Salem will never forget.
