The Waterfall Palace is a disturbing thriller describing a series of executions occurring in the exclusive Houston suburb of The Woodlands. The tony neighborhood primarily houses business executives and retired athletes. The series of killings begin when the lawyer of a well-known firm is murdered in what appears to be a home invasion. After Lieutenant Patrick Youngblood of the sheriff's department is assigned the case, another partner in the firm is eliminated, and soon the media has turned the killings into a national sensation. Since the murders are possibly linked to terrorists, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms along with other federal agencies threaten to take over the investigation, thereby freezing out local authorities. Meanwhile, an assassin is also tracking the killer, and the more Youngblood investigates and pieces together the bigger picture, it's anyone's guess who will successfully hunt down the killer first.
