Moagi Sharp, 2025

The city of San Francisco is on edge, shrouded in a chilling new fog – the terror of the "Night Weaver," a meticulous serial killer leaving a horrifying trail across its iconic landmarks. Public fear is rampant, and the pressure on law enforcement is immense. Leading the charge, or at least a significant part of it, is Officer Bigboy' Roy, a rising star in the SFPD. Young, sharp, and intensely dedicated, Bigboy carries the weight of a city's hope on his broad shoulders. He's ambitious, driven by a deep sense of justice, and utterly focused on unraveling the Night Weaver's twisted game. From their first tense interview, an unexpected current sparks between Bigboy and Elara. It's an inconvenient, inappropriate, yet undeniable attraction. Bigboy, ever the professional, tries to suppress it, focusing solely on the case. But as he delves deeper into Elara's life and her connection to the victims, the more he finds himself drawn to her vulnerability, her resilience, and the sharp wit she hides beneath a troubled exterior. As the investigation intensifies, Elara inadvertently becomes more than just a witness; her specific expertise and her unique perspective make her an invaluable asset to the task force, frequently working closely with Bigboy. Late-night phone calls turn into shared cups of coffee, professional discussions morph into glimpses of personal lives. The lines blur. Bigboy's feelings for Elara deepen into something profound and undeniable, a dangerous distraction from the relentless hunt. The tension becomes unbearable. Bigboy knows, with every fiber of his being, that pursuing a romantic relationship with a crucial witness – particularly one so entwined with the suspects' friends/family/witnesses category and potentially in harm's way – is a monumental breach of protocol, an ethical minefield that could jeopardize the entire investigation and his career. His captain is watching, Internal Affairs is a constant shadow, and the media is breathing down their necks. Bigboy finds himself caught in an agonizing bind: he needs Elara's help to catch a monster, but the very act of working closely with her fuels a desire he can't act upon. Elara, too, feels the pull. Haunted by the terror of the case and the proximity of danger, Bigboy represents a strange sense of safety and understanding she hasn't known. But she also recognizes the precariousness of their situation, the professional consequences for him, and the chilling reality that her life might be in greater danger the closer she gets to the killer – and the detective hunting him. The clock is ticking. The Night Weaver grows bolder, the stakes higher with each passing day. Bigboy is forced to maintain a professional distance, all while battling his own heart and the growing fear for Elara's safety. Every shared glance, every lingering touch becomes a silent promise, a deferral of a future that may never come. No one knows how much longer the Night Weaver will terrorize San Francisco, and with each passing moment, the unspoken question looms: Can love truly blossom under the shadow of a serial killer, or will the chilling truth of their "criminal attraction" ultimately lead to professional ruin, or worse, tragedy? "Criminal Attraction" is a pulse-pounding journey where the thrill of the chase meets the undeniable spark of forbidden love, set against the iconic, fog-laden backdrop of San Francisco. It asks how long one can resist the heart's urgent call when duty demands an impossible wait.
