Thirty-three years ago, a laboratory experiment was supposed to change the world.
Instead, it changed a town.
The people of Cherrystone Falls gain superhuman abilities accidentally and the truth behind the disaster was buried beneath layers of lies, secrecy, and fear. Now, three decades later, the Human Intelligence Agency (HIA) has returned to finish what Cherrystone Labs started: evolving humanity to become superhuman, or superiors as they are commonly called.
Nara Woods wants nothing to do with it.
A struggling freelance inventor with a talent for making bad situations worse, Nara sees the HIA as just another organization trying to control what it doesn't understand.But when she begins digging into the town's past, she discovers that Cherrystone Falls has never escaped the shadow of the experiment.
A dark red fog that takes over the town's junkyard. Massive birds watch the town from rooftops and power lines. A nightmare creature stalks its victims long after they wake. Every strange occurrence, every urban legend, every unexplained disappearance leads back to the same place: the abandoned Cherrystone Labs.
And whatever is hiding beneath the building may still be alive.
As Nara chases answers, she finds herself caught between curiosity and common sense. She craves independence but depends on others to survive. She distrusts the HIA yet joins them on a dangerous expedition into the very lab she swore to avoid. Every decision she makes seems to pull her deeper into a mystery she was never meant to uncover.
Because some secrets don't stay buried.
And some experiments never truly end.
When the truth finally reveals itself, Nara must decide what matters more: satisfying her curiosity or surviving what she finds.
Welcome to Cherrystone Falls. Just don't follow the red fog.
