Synopsis: Characters play townspeople and investigators in a small desert town in Arizona, circa 1940, where two murders have shocked the local folk.

Content: Violence, explicit sex, non-consensual sex, sex with (anthropomorphic) monsters.
System: Freeform. GM will set chances of random events, attacks, attempted feats, etc. and call for die rolls where appropriate.
The peaceful desert town of Twin Rocks, home to around 4,000 souls, has not seen deadly violence since 1931, when a drunk at the local tavern shot another man in a dispute over a woman. Now two townspeople have been found gruesomely murdered, and another has vanished. No one knows why. Suspects include a Mexican motorcycle gang--outlaws with a reputation for trouble that have recently moved into the town. However, when the sheriff picked up two of the bikers for questioning, both denied involvement, and in fact had alibis. The local Church of St. Elsinore (Catholic denomination)'s priest has been muttering about some unseen evil, but few take him seriously.
News of the murders have reached the desk of the Sunrise Herald, a newspaper in Phoenix, and reporters have been sent to investigate.
Characters can include:
Locals
Mexican bikers
Newspaper reporters
Local cop
Transient
Church of St. Elsinore priest or nuns*
* Note that Catholicism is being used fictionally here; no relation to actual Catholic personnel or doctrine is intended.
Characters can be "good," "evil" or anything in-between, as this is not a single adventuring party.
