A a world just like ours, set in the 21st century with access to modern technology, Veil is a story of magic. Magical beings walk amongst regular humans and conceal their identities in order to live regular lives. Demons are born in hell as a magical race, where uprising and corruption to take over the mortal realm fester.

These magical beings are usually found in higher places of power within corporate/government positions. Many use their powers to manipulate human society and gain power within the world.

Some humans can develop a rare condition that enables them to detect magical powers and see through the "veil" of a magical beings physical disguise.
