Chicago. Bustling with life. Enough people that anyone would blend into the crowd. If they're not looking carefully, then no one really notices anything might be amiss. Well, that, and most people don't possess any sort of Seeing-Eye ability. But, within these crowds of people, seamlessly disguised, is a whole community of supernatural beings, going about their lives, just as busy as the humans. They even have hidden backstreets that are filled with supernatural-only stores, amenities and other buildings. For a long while, it's only been them that have access to this 'underground' society, with perhaps only a handful of human exceptions that have the aforementioned Seeing-Eye ability - a rare ability that only a very small percentage of humans have, which enables them to see through the 'veil' that supernatural beings have to disguise themselves and their communities. However, it's been 15 years since any new humans have accidentally discovered they have this ability and stumbled into the supernatural society, it's at the point that many think there will be no other humans with the ability. That all changes, though, on a seemingly regular Spring afternoon.
A group of humans, apparently unconnected, arrive in Chicago, just to spend some time in the city for varying reasons. Whether that's to spend time with family, attend an event, or just to have a city break, they soon notice that things are... off. Passers-by seem to be human, until they shimmer and reveal a very not-human appearance - which no one else seems to notice. And later on, they stumble into a backalley after not paying attention, which seems to turn into a street with rather mysterious stores and buildings that they are sure wasn't on any map.
Upon eventually meeting - with each other and the supernatural locals - they learn about the truth of their hidden ability... but it becomes clear that something drew them here all at once - but what? And... why? It seems... the humans may have more to them than they thought, and whatever subconsciously drew them here has a plan.
