In Darkness

Sofia McKendrick lives as a blind pianist in a London apartment, haunted by the massacre of her family by Serbian paramilitaries. The trauma shapes her perception of safety and trust, even as she pursues music. Her everyday life is quiet but tense, underscored by a dangerous past she keeps to herself.

In a tense elevator conversation, Veronique discreetly slips Sofia a USB drive and mentions a clue called 'Liquid Gold'. The moment plants the seeds of a dangerous connection between Sofia and Veronique’s hidden world. Sofia only partially grasps the implications as she pockets the drive.

Sofia witnesses Veronique fall to her death after a struggle in Veronique's room. She denies witnessing anything to Detective Mills and keeps the USB drive hidden, wary of implicating herself. The room and the mystery around Veronique's fate begin to draw Sofia deeper into Radic's orbit.

While performing at an event hosted by Zoran Radic, Sofia overhears Radic and his associates discussing Veronique's death and imply his involvement. The overheard conversation reveals a larger network and raises the stakes for Sofia's safety. The performance becomes a backdrop to dangerous intrigue.

In Veronique's apartment, Alexandra Gordon and her brother Marc discuss Veronique's pregnancy and imply Marc was sent to kill Veronique. The conversation hints at paternity and a hidden threat behind Veronique's death. The complex web of loyalties tightens around Sofia.

Radic becomes fixated on Sofia as a link to Veronique, and Sofia finds herself dodging police inquiries and Radic's men combing Veronique's apartment. The chase pushes Sofia to move carefully and leverage the USB drive's secret to stay ahead. Trust becomes a precious commodity.

Marc rescues Sofia from an attempted assault and kidnapping, and the two form a tense, impulsive bond. As their relationship deepens, Sofia learns that Veronique may have committed suicide out of paranoia rather than being murdered. The connection with Marc reveals a personal and dangerous alliance.

Sofia aligns with her adopted father Niall, a former soldier who rescued her as a child. She hands him the USB drive, with 'Liquid Gold' as the password, hoping to uncover Radic's assets and operations. The plan pivots on turning the drive into leverage against Radic's criminal empire.

Sofia recounts Balma, her sister who could see but pretended blindness for Sofia's sake. The family had been friends with Radic in Bosnia, but Radic betrayed them, leading to a massacre. Balma's memories and identity play a crucial role in understanding Sofia's true lineage.

Veronique reveals she planned to expose her father's crimes and believes Sofia can carry out the disclosure with the USB drive. The plan ties Veronique's fate to Sofia's, adding a personal stake to the pursuit of justice. The motive for Sofia's actions becomes clearer as history intertwines with the present.

At Veronique's funeral, Sofia negotiates with Alexandra, trading a copy of a revealing photo for a private audience with Radic. She uses the threat of releasing USB information to pressure Alexandra, who in turn passes a copy to Radic. The funeral becomes a stage for shifting loyalties and dangerous bargains.

Radic realizes the depth of Sofia's past as she confronts him, claiming to know the truth about her mother. He asserts a painful, violent past and suggests Sofia might be his daughter. Detective Mills intensifies his inquiry into Sofia's history, uncovering that 'Sofia' is an alias named after Niall's deceased daughter, deepening the mystery.

Mills traces Sofia's true identity and discovers the alias rooted in Niall's late daughter. Parallel to the mounting revelations, Niall dies in the hospital, removing Sofia's strongest confidant and complicating her planned reveal against Radic. The investigation closes in on Sofia's hidden past.

Radic unmasks Alexandra's treachery and orders her death, while Marc sides with Sofia by abandoning Alexandra for involvement in her unborn child's fate. The shifting loyalties signal an irreversible fracture within Radic's inner circle. The stakes escalate as chaos surrounds those who crossed Radic.

Radic arrives to kill Sofia, but Marc intervenes and a violent struggle erupts. In the aftermath, Mills' surveillance reveals previous moves, and Marc shoves Radic out a window, killing him. A final twist reveals that Sofia was never blind—Balma, not Sofia, survived the massacre and stole her identity. Marc urges Balma to run, and Sofia flees into the night before the police arrive.
