Oh yes, the town of Darkness Falls is a small one, seemingly quaint and quiet, but those who think so are sadly mistaken. In fact, the only ones who believe Darkness Falls to be a quiet place are those we call "the Outsiders," wealthy and affluent families who live beyond the metaphorical walls of the hellish Prison that is this town.
This neighborhood is as rough as they come; a village ruled by drugs, violence and prostitution. By day, the town is at peace...but only when darkness falls is the blindfold of ignorance removed.
There are only three known familes of affluence here. Only three who have managed to stay wisely safe. The most well-known are the Thomas family. Divided by the line of generation, Nelson and Vivianne have managed to keep themselves to themselves.
But hardly anybody else does this. Though the town suggests darkness and loneliness, the smallness of the village ensures that everybody knows everybody. But secrets are as common here as taxi cabs are in the city that lies mere miles beyond.
When the lights fade, sanity is abandoned and sin roams free. Lust, wrath, envy, gluttony, pride, sloth and greed – deadly sins: all-consuming; engulfing innocents; robbing thousands of their lives. Virtues are as far-between and sought after as a sunny afternoon in December. Nobody is safe, especially when the sun sets and thee moon begis to rise, for all bad things come when darkness falls.
