Rumor around town said that the shop in the deep alley of the market is very strange. It has no sign and no customers. No one knows when it is there and a precious few dare to step inside... Dominique visits the shop on Korova Avenue often, but no one ever sees her. That's the only way. No one will follow her, or ask questions, until she meets Crow. Crow enters the shop on a dare, unaware of what the mysterious facade holds. He never would have guessed that the girl hiding in the shadows would see something different in him. Crow's special and Dominique's determined to find out why, but will it cause her to loose the home and friends she's always known?
