Ivory Lawson is an average girl living a less than average life. With her mother dying from brain cancer, her father out of the picture, and her older brother disabled from a car accident almost a year and a half earlier, she has to do more than a regular 18 year old should to help out her grandfather; her and her brother's remaining guardian. As if things weren't already worse for wear, in her city lurks a mysterious group: a gang called the Deathbringers. Where the police have difficulty or challenge in apprehending criminals, the Deathbringers are there. No one knows what their purpose is, how long they've exisited, or why they exist. Above all... No one has ever seen their leader. An unlikely chain of events occur one terrible night that forces Ivory into contact with things that make her realize that her life was never meant to be normal... including herself.
