When a child mysteriously disappears from a small town and even his mother seems indifferent, it’s time for the new sheriff to step in.

As Chris reads through the stories the veil starts to lift, and he soon questions what is real and what’s not, and whether he really wants to know. Nothing will ever be the same again. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing
