In the small town of Red Valley, everyone has a secret, and Sadie's mother was the one who kept them. As the town's Liar, she would take a person's secrets or "lies" and bury them so they would never be found, ensuring the town stayed safe from the monsters lurking in the shadows. When her mother dies unexpectedly, Sadie is forced to take up the mantle, but she soon discovers that some lies are too heavy to carry and some secrets were never meant to stay buried. As an ancient evil begins to stir and a mysterious stranger arrives looking for a specific lie, Sadie must navigate a landscape of dark magic and old debts to protect her home. It is a gritty, modern fantasy that blends the atmosphere of a Western with eerie supernatural horror.
