Without Toby by her side, Josie has no choice but to tackle her problems alone. Everything seems to route back to Conrad, but with surprises and threats around every corner it gets harder and harder to see the forest through the trees. Threats on everything she holds dear force her into a corner. Where she must rely on herself to find her own strength. While trying to hold it all together for those who rely on her.
Toby, unsure if he wants to find his way back to Josie, experiences a new side of himself and – through his own methods – a new side of Josie. A man can only stay on the sidelines for so long before action becomes necessary.
While love can conquer all, can it bring people back together and can it soften the agony of torture? Can it save Toby and Josie when unprecedented and unwelcome complications get in the way?
