In the wake of growing corruption among government officials, law enforcement, and the justice system, a new wave of brutal traps shakes the city. Detective Zeke Banks, haunted by the legacy of his father and the past events of the Jigsaw murders, is drawn into the most intricate and massive game ever devised. Joined by Detective Claire Mendez, tech specialist Mei Huang, and a reluctant ally in William Schenk, Zeke uncovers a web of lies, cover-ups, and a terrifying truth — the mastermind behind the traps has ties to both the Jigsaw legacy and the political elite. With 67 key characters including senators, police chiefs, lawyers, victims, and survivors, Saw: Retribution expands the universe like never before. As powerful figures fall and secrets are exposed, the line between justice and vengeance blurs, culminating in a climactic trial where morality, guilt, and retribution are put to the ultimate test.
