Skinning

In the heart of a once-thriving coastal town, a series of grisly murders shakes the community to its core in “Skinning.” As the local sheriff, Emma Carter, investigates the brutal killings, she uncovers a dark secret deeply rooted in the town’s history—a secret that many would prefer to keep buried. Each victim seems to be linked to an old urban legend of a cult that once flourished, notorious for its gruesome rituals designed to “purify” the town.

Emma, driven yet haunted by the mysterious disappearance of her sister years ago, finds herself obsessively drawn into the depths of the case. Alongside her deputy, Lucas, a skeptical newcomer with a troubled past, they delve into the lore surrounding the cult, meeting eccentric locals who offer both myths and riddles. Each clue unravels layers of betrayal and deception, forcing Emma to confront not only the town’s demons but also her own.

As bodies of those tied to the cult pile up, Emma’s investigation attracts the attention of Riley, an investigative journalist with a personal stake in the story. Riley, initially seen as an annoyance, soon becomes an ally, bringing insights that both challenge and aid Emma’s perspective. Together, they navigate the fine line between myth and reality, peeling away layers of half-truths that threaten to shred the fragile fabric of their community.

Themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the consequences of burying the past emerge as the narrative thickens. As Emma’s connections to the victims deepen, she finds herself questioning whom she can trust – family, friends, and even the very town she swore to protect. The closer she gets to the truth, the more perilous her quest becomes, ultimately leading her to a shocking revelation that forces her to reconsider her quest for justice.
