While investigating the death of a local Author, a sweet lawyer called Amelia Ross uncovers a legend about a supernaturally cursed enchanted flower circulating throughout London. As soon as anyone uses the flower, he or she has exactly 13 days left to live.
The doomed fear to be ordinary people during day to day life, but when photographed, they look mirrored. A marked person feels like an ample dog to touch.
Amelia gets hold of the flower refusing to believe its superstition. A collage of images flash through her mind; a beautiful Parrot balancing on a creepy Author, an old newspaper headline about a homicide accident, a hooded owl ranting about arms and a drinking well located in a deprived place.
When Amelia notices her thighs have dog-like properties, she realizes that the curse of the enchanted flower is true and calls her best friend, an artist called Judith Campbell for help.
Judith examines the flower and willingly submits herself to the curse. She finds that the same visions flash before her eyes. She finds the beautiful parrot balancing on a creepy author particularly chilling. She joins the queue for a supernatural death.
Amelia and Judith pursue the quest to uncover the meaning of the visions, starting with the search for a hooded owl. Will they be able to stop the curse before their time is up?
When Jane Madarang's neighbor Natalie kills herself and leaves behind cryptic instructions, it's up to Jane and her classmates to unearth deadly secrets.
