Sky is a woman in her early twenties, with striking brown hair and rare, beautiful blue eyes that draw attention wherever she goes.

Shawn, a somewhat clumsy man in his late twenties, finds himself at a crossroads. Once passionate about writing, he now feels as if that fire is fading, and he's on a quest to reignite his creativity.

At just sixteen, Sky faced a life-altering decision that turned her world upside down. Now, she stands accused of killing fifteen people, a label that haunts her every moment.

When Shawn is assigned to hear her story-captivated by something in her interview that piqued his boss's interest-he steps into a realm of darkness and intrigue.

As the details of her alleged crimes unfold, the question lingers: is Sky truly as monstrous as everyone believes? Or is there a hidden story that could elicit sympathy for her plight?

What will Shawn discover about her, and what does that revelation mean for him? As he delves deeper, he must confront his own fears and passions, ultimately challenging his perceptions of morality and redemption.

On the flip of a coin, people die around Sin. Escaped from a lunatic asylum and haunted by his dead sister, he must find out why, and discover who is trying to use his power to destroy everything and everyone. ***** Dead, dead, dead. Say it enough times and it becomes just another word. What would you do? Could you kill a killer? Does the death of one appease the deaths of a hundred? What about that hundred against a thousand? What if you had no choice? Meet Sin. No, not that sort of sin, but Sin, crazy as a loon (you ask Sister Moon), and proud of it.

It's a pity they don't work. Sin, you see, has a serious problem. Well, it's not so much his problem, as ours - yours, mine and everyone else's. People die around Sin.
