Mara Tate, a seasoned investigative journalist with a knack for uncovering hidden truths, is used to dealing with secrecy and danger. But when a package arrives at her office containing a carefully folded origami mask and a note reading, "Unmask the truth, or someone you love will pay," she realizes this mystery is more personal-and more threatening-than anything she's faced before.
The investigation leads Mara to a series of high-profile missing persons cases, each victim linked to a mysterious underground society known only as "The Paper Mask." Her only lead is a retired detective, Adam Kellerman, who handled similar cases years ago and was ultimately dismissed after accusing some of the city's elite of being part of this elusive group.
