Twenty-four year old Amara James is a psychologist for the criminally insane. Unlike most doctors at the psych ward, she is well loved and connects immensely with her frenzied patients. Each and every one of her patients are more than curious about her past, which she has lavishly tried to conceal from everyone, including herself; for it has turned her into the sophisticated woman she is today with the monsters in her still lurking in the shadows of her eyes. The arrival of an oddly familiar yet infuriating patient spurs quite chaos for her sense of reasoning when he opens the forbidden door to her past. To the man she once loved and holds all the power to her sanity and humanity. To a psychopathic serial killer. *** || formerly known as Devil's Backbone ||
