When the sight of his son growing and needing something more than just him spurs him out of his black abyss, he decides it's time to find a mother figure for the baby.
From the moment Evelyn Bennett glides into his office, requesting a job, Thomas is smitten. But, after marrying her, he discovers a terrifying secret. She thinks she's two people, and only one of her is inherently good.
