Realising that Josh is the cause of her inability to control her deadly weapon Nikki is left with little choice but to leave him. Out on her own, she must confront her darkest fear, not the demons that hunt her but the ones within. Faced with this choice, Nikki must either accept who she is and join those who oppose Josh, or fight that which attempts to consume her and risk the lives of the man she loves and all who stand with him.
