The story springs from the real-world headlines of religious cults and mass suicides. With Veil, it begins 30 years ago, when members of a religious cult known as Heaven's Veil take their own lives. The truth behind what really happened remains buried deep in the memory of the sole survivor, a five-year-old girl, who returns to the compound with a documentary crew as an adult. They soon discover something that is far more terrifying than anything they could have imagined.
Alex has always known he was adopted, and for all 26 years of his life that fact has never been more than a footnote. But after discovering new information about his background, he realizes he wants to know more. Finally gathering the courage to dig up his birth records, he starts down the uncertain path to find answers from the most important woman he's never met... his birth mother.
