The Beckwith Brothers

At one point everyone who lived and eventually was murder in Downers Grove thought it seemed easy to exist and breathe in a beautiful place where nothing even remotely bad ever happened...not since The Beckwith Brothers went missing in the wooded mountains just outside of city limits fifteen years ago. The year is 1995, Seraphim 'Sierr' Blake is a 17-year-old odd beauty who is awkward, lean, and lanky and she's all too aware of it. Despite her inner and subtle outer beauty her confidence is barely there. Her drive comes from her thirst for the life of her dreams which she is determined to work hard and pray even harder to reach. She is a film producer, bestselling author, and happily married wife to the best husband who she is madly in love with 20 years from now in her own mind. Currently as an insecure teen with a super confident peers, Sierr is surrounded by her close knit group of distinctive childhood friends: Fierce Fashionista Willow, Girly Girl Carmen Cameron, and the Forever Skeptical Likable Loner who only goes by the initials of his name, JSF. They all live in a seemingly quaint and quirky small town in Northern California called Downers Grove...A place steeped in secrets.

The Beckwith Brothers are rumored to have killed their own parents when they tried to abandon their children in the woods causing none of the Beckwith family to ever be seen again. These boys were a myth to the media and skeptics, legends to the intrigued and curious, foreign entities to be worshiped by a fringe group of outsiders, and a tool for the fame of a power hungry. However, when strange happenings start up just before the 15th Anniversary of The Beckwith Brothers' mysterious disappearance the past intertwines into the present unearthing reserves of supernatural power, targeted obsession, forbidden romance, paranoia, and a string of murders all culminating with world changing events on Halloween night 1995.

Leading up to the climatic events initiated by The Beckwith Brothers emergence from the forests, Sierr is thrust into the perfect storm of self-awareness, infatuation, temptation, and angst as she, her small town, and her friends find themselves battling high-school drama, predatory males, a violent secret society, serial killings, and being objects of twisted affections. All while learning that the truth can be really be stranger and more frightening than fiction. Including the truth about herself which is that she may just be a girl who loves playing with fire. Forces beyond anything Sierr could have imagined are determining the conclusion of this story including the code of the wild where The Beckwith Brothers raised themselves.
