The Midnight Man

At its core, The Midnight Man follows a story that unfolds like this: An ex-convict, and ex-cop, finds himself in the midst of drama as a murder, of a female student, is commited at the university where he works as a night watchman. He is reluctantly drawn into the criminal investigation and eventually becomes a suspect in the case. Will he be able to find the real murderer and clear his own name, or not?

What sets it apart is how it treats its mystery and thriller elements not as decoration but as the engine of the plot. The tagline — "One of them is a murderer. All of them make the most fascinating murder mystery in years." — captures that tone perfectly.
