"Are you sure that drink is yours?"
REVEALATIONS – Sip the Truth, One Shot at a Time
By: Ruth Drabkin
Hollywood doesn’t sleep—and neither does the truth.
Welcome to Revealations, where a shot of espresso could be your last. Set inside a gritty, rock n' roll vibed grocery store on Sunset Boulevard, Revealations follows undercover cop Raven McCool—working incognito as Penny Padlock—on a mission that’s anything but decaf.
After an employee collapses from a poisoned drink at Sunset Star Coffee, all eyes turn to the baristas. But nothing is what it seems. As Raven blends in with the chaos of caffeine, coupon clippers, and clashing egos, she uncovers a tangled web of lies, workplace secrets, and unexpected romance. Everyone—from the quirky regulars to the shady store manager—has something to hide.
This isn’t your typical police procedural. It’s part mystery, part comedy, part romance—with a double shot of sass. Think Veronica Mars meets Dead to Me, served in a paper cup with your name misspelled.
You’ll meet:
• A manager with too many skeletons and not enough keys.
• A barista being framed—or is she?
• A handsome security guard who might just steam your milk.
• And a handler named Gus, who may or may not be sober enough to help.
Beneath the fluorescent lights and behind every checkout lane is a secret waiting to be spilled. But in this town, the truth doesn’t just hurt—it burns.
So grab your favorite drink and settle in. Because in Revealations, the next sip could change everything.
