When Red goes missing, the Big Bad Wolf becomes the easiest suspect—and the perfect patsy. A midnight knock turns an old legend into a new suspect. In rain-soaked Fabletown, whispers harden into headlines as a red hoodie, bad blood, and worse assumptions close in on Bigsby Wolf. Enter Snow White—once a princess, now a public defender with teeth—who starts unspooling a case built on bias, missing paperwork, and men who profit from secrets. We meet the city’s fixers, bruisers, and true believers while an investigator works the alleys and a prosecutor works the cameras. This opening chapter sets the tone: fairy tale noir where law is performance, power writes the script, and the truth has to fight for a microphone.
