Paula Devereaux did something on a mission to the hellish Nightlands three months ago that she will never forgive herself for, and convinces herself no one else will, either. Rather than talk things out, she holds stubbornly onto her secret until it threatens to tear away everything she has spent her life to build. Added to the burden is a murder of someone close to her. Another victim teeters on the brink of death, and Paula finds that keeping her secrets begins to hinder rather than help her. Crushed by the revelations and events she herself set forth, Paula is finally ready to meet her death - in the form of another loved one.
