Eight years ago, Kira Vale’s father disappeared after becoming obsessed with disturbing livestreams hidden deep within the internet. No body was ever found. No explanation was ever given. While the police stopped caring and the world moved on, Kira never did. Now living alone in the rain-soaked city of Noctis, Kira spends her nights buried inside conspiracy forums, archived footage, and strange online communities connected to disappearances nobody else seems to notice. Emotionally detached from reality and consumed by the same digital rabbit holes that destroyed her father, she slowly becomes addicted to uncovering whatever truth he died trying to expose. Then one stormy night, she receives a livestream notification. VEIL IS LIVE. The stream belongs to Lupus, a masked internet figure surrounded by urban legends, violent hunts, and terrifying broadcasts watched by millions online. Most people believe the streams are fake. Just another internet horror phenomenon designed to go viral. Until someone inside the livestream screams Kira’s real name before the broadcast suddenly cuts. As disappearances increase and online conspiracy communities spiral into chaos, Kira becomes trapped inside a hidden world existing beneath modern society — a world where supernatural predators survive through celebrity culture, internet fame, political influence, and fear. Drawn toward Lupus despite her growing terror, Kira slowly realizes he is hiding secrets connected not only to her father’s disappearance, but to his own cursed existence. But beneath the mystery, darker questions remain unanswered. What truly happened to Kira’s father? Why can Kira notice things normal humans cannot? And why does Lupus seem drawn toward her long before they ever meet?
