Seren knows the truth. She can feel the steadily growing darkness inside of her taking control and she’s afraid. She’s afraid of turning into the monster that she’s destined to be. There’s hope though. There’s a small glimmer of light in the darkness. The only problem is that the light holds as many secrets as the darkness. When the secrets start to come out, Seren realizes that even the good guys aren't always good.

Seren is going nowhere in her life. She knows that and she’s not trying to fight against it. At just twenty two years old she’s already accepted that a crappy boyfriend and a low paying bar job are the best she’s going to get. That is, until she comes home one day to find a purple haired girl in her bed with her boyfriend at her side. Seren realizes that things are about to fall apart, but she can hardly focus on that, because she’s being followed by a woman in a red dress. When they finally meet face to face the woman reveals secrets about Seren’s past, about her mom who abandoned her and the reasons behind why she has the same recurring dream every night. Is the woman in the red dress a person from Seren’s past or is she just a crazy woman looking to take advantage?

Seren knows that her choices are limited. Lucia has her right where she wants her and escaping her evil clutches isn't going to be an easy feat. That’s what she has to do, though: she has to find a way of getting away from Lucia, before Lucia has a chance to torture the darkness out of Seren. With only hours to spare before Seren’s birthday hits and the darkness reaches its full power, the risks are high and the chances of failure are even higher. Will Seren be able to fight her way through the lures of the darkness or will she become the monster she has always been destined to be?
