Ten years after the death of their parents, siblings Cooper (Holtz) and Fable (McGregor) team up to discover the truth behind the disappearance of their parents. 

She shared the exciting news on her Facebook page. 

"The writer, Jason Rothenberg, gravitated towards me and was like, 'You got it. YOU ARE FABLE'. And then I lost all ability to speak. I kinda just started gasping for air and waving my hands around like a crazy person."
