In the quiet town of Hollowwood, deception is the lifeblood of its inhabitants. Behind the charming facades and polite smiles lies a network of secrets, betrayals, and manipulation. Evelyn Marrow, the town's beloved philanthropist, has perfected the art of illusion, hiding her darkest deeds beneath layers of lies. But when an anonymous blackmailer threatens to unravel her carefully constructed life, Evelyn is forced to fight back.  

Unbeknownst to Evelyn, her blackmailer is Mark, a seemingly unremarkable neighbor with a talent for uncovering the hidden sins of Hollowwood's residents. Mark has spent years collecting secrets, not to expose them, but to control the people around him. However, his underestimation of Evelyn sets off a dangerous game of psychological warfare, where the players' masks begin to slip, revealing the raw and selfish core of human nature.  

As alliances shift and the stakes rise, Evelyn and Mark find themselves caught in a deadly battle of wits, dragging the town's other residents into the fray. Secrets long buried resurface, turning neighbor against neighbor, until the idyllic image of Hollowwood shatters completely.  

In The Web of Masks, the lies people tell to protect themselves become their greatest undoing, and the thin line between predator and prey blurs in a town where no one is truly innocent.
