The Rainbird

PTN is a struggling television network in Manila. To help turn its fortunes around, it hires U.S. expat Alfredo Trentinara. Fredo is a young, eager, talented producer. But in this new psychological thriller from Tag Cavello, he soon comes to find that not all is as it seems.

The darkness begins with a torrid romance. Lysette “Setti” Roxas works in HR. She is small, smart, beautiful…and the keeper of a deadly secret. As the two of them spend time together, Fredo is given certain, unsettling clues to Setti’s past, which just so happen to coincide with why the network hasn’t had a hit show for six years.

More clues arrive from Allen Bautista, the network’s news anchorman. Allen is often drunk on the air, yet in the stories he shares with Fredo, the threads of a very sobering truth are easy to see.

What exactly happened at PTN? Why does Setti seem so accepting of its fate at first, only to become almost desperate to heal all wounds? Can Fredo really turn PTN’s fortunes around, and at the same time, rescue Setti from the depths of a tragic occurrence?

Mirrors sometimes lie. Memories aren’t always real. Read The Rainbird to go on a journey of self-discovery…and be dragged to the killing depths of truth and terror.
