In LA, California, evil is brewing. A series of bone chilling murders based off a set of famous horror novels leads the jaded LAPD homicide detective Katherine Miller straight to the door step of the book's compelling, rich author, Wesley Grey. Inheritor of his father's billionaire company and a cursed and horrifying past, Wesley's violent and psychologically disturbed background makes him the prime suspect in the serial murders. Katherine makes it her mission to expose him as the killer, but instead begins to find herself coming to understand the tragic and troubled man. But as her investigation leads her deeper into a cesspool of incriminating evidence against him, she's no longer sure who to believe or trust. Either he's insane and playing a game with her, or someone is trying to destroy what's left of him. She is left with one question- Is he the hero or villain of the story? And can she love someone she can't trust?
When Jane Madarang's neighbor Natalie kills herself and leaves behind cryptic instructions, it's up to Jane and her classmates to unearth deadly secrets.
