Victoria, upon realizing the house in which Emaline has moved into, tells her about what happened to the boy who lived there before her. Koah committed suicide.

She tries to make the best of things and live a normal life, until the people she's closest to start dying under mysterious circumstances. Emaline alone holds the power to stop these deaths. If only she can figure it out in time.
