The Hermits are back for Season 8 and some of them have been playing in a death game called 3rdLife. But the ending was a lot harder to cope with for one of them. Can Grian cope with the guilt slowly overtaking him? Will he be able to ever look Scar in the eyes again? Meanwhile, Scar seems his happy self. That slowly changes when his beloved pesky bird seems to avoid him. Aka, Grian doesn't want to make the same mistakes, but does. And Scar tries to figure out why things have changed. And somehow, they always end up back in the desert.

Scar was never meant to fall victim to the same beings that had haunted Grian since he fled The End. But a Watcher had other plans, and now Grian must reveal a secret he's kept for far too long to save both his admin and his friend - no matter the cost. Secrets were never meant to last. How long before his come crashing down?
