Locked away at Pecan Place, Jessie finds her situation to be even more dangerous than she feared.
While she struggles to maintain her sanity and discover answers about the group that seems less and less like any legitimate government agency, Pietr fights to keep their relationship alive.
But very aware that his mother's time is running out, Pietr makes a deal he doesn't dare tell Jessie about.
Because the deal Pietr's made could mean the death of far more than his tenuous relationship with the girl he loves.
