Attend opera concerts. Run a few errands. Enjoy a luxury apartment, wardrobe, and car, all expenses paid.
Sounds like a dream job, right? There's only one catch.
After nights of haunting musical messages and retrieving strange items for her eccentric employer, Cleo unravels a conspiracy she definitely isn't getting paid enough to be involved in. As time goes on, she glimpses a fantastical realm of individuals that prefer to keep their powers a secret, and will do anything to remain unseen. Once unveiled, there is no going back to blissful ignorance.
It all started with a paycheck. But in the end, Cleo may be the one paying - with her life.

"A killer who is afraid of guns and another who is afraid of the dark, huh? Quite the team." ~•~~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ Cleo knows what she's capable of and how good she is at her job... only this kind of job includes murder and torture. She's been in this business along with her family for a while now to know how things work.
