Secrets are kept, good people are ruined while evil people are free, and nothing is what it seems in the beautiful mountains and valleys around the private resort town tucked away in the Rocky Mountains. After a traumatic childhood event, sisters Charlene and Meredith DuBois and their cousin Katrina can't wait to get out of Veil Falls, Colorado, and leave the elitist mentality of their wealthy community behind, especially after Meri is almost killed by the mayor's daughter's reckless driving, and a murder destroys Katrina's relationship and home life. The not-so-accidental accident and the murder both covered up by Char and Meri's father, Sheriff Louis DuBois to protect the town's reputation. Char joins the Navy, Meri goes to the culinary institute in Vegas, and Trina starts nursing school in Pueblo. Their lives are smooth sailing by a longshot but anywhere is better than home. However, when the sisters and cousin are forced to return to Veil Falls after another questionable accident and multiple deaths, they begin to discover a deeper truth about the town's elite in the delusional rantings left by Char and Meri's alcoholic mother. Pages written in blood-red ink and tears, pages talking about the monster Miranda and another killed. What really happened to Winston Winslow? Who can they trust to figure it all out?
