Molly stares at her reflection, horror seeping into her expression as her skin begins to crack as if she was made from porcelain. Suddenly, it seems like she doesn't exist anymore and her reflection begins to take over.

"Do it and be afraid. I'll be with you, feeding on your fear." Her reflection says then unhinges its jaw and licks its lips.

A demon has taken over Molly's mind. As their will becomes apparent, Molly has to suffer the consequences of being possessed.

Molly is a sensitive introvert with a penchant for research. She can get lost in a book for days and get extremely excited when she discovers something new in her research. To others, she's a "crybaby" and "overly emotional", so she prefers the type of solitude that cannot hurt her feelings.

Molly is an archaeologist that specializes in tombs, religion, and history. Upon uncovering a tomb in Siberia, Russia, she suddenly starts to perceive things differently as her mind grows to accommodate the two souls. During her exploration, she uncovers the death mask of a Russian conqueror, Dmitri Igor. His skin was frozen and cracked under the mask and his mouth was chapped, blue, and ajar. Dmitri has committed mass atrocities to the Asian Russian population and the Middle-Eastern population in a trek to acquire land. Molly has never killed anyone. With the memories of a military dictator floating through her head, how will she be able to cope with her bloodthirsty urges while trying to upkeep a healthy work-life balance?
