Mia Talley is cursed. She sees tattoos that are not there. They appear and then vanish without a trace. She see's them on hands, faces, foreheads and necks. On complete strangers she meets on the train and on the streets of Limerick city. The tattoos form words that allow Mia to see beyond the person's facial features and in to the dark recesses of their soul. Mia trawls the dark, damp, streets of Limerick city looking for souls in danger. A drug, crime and gang riddled city in Ireland that has earned itself the nickname Stab City, it hungrily provides the troubled souls that Mia seeks. Mia saves lives on a regular basis, anonymously preventing murders, rapists and paedophiles. Mia stumbles across Jessica Goodyear, a suicidal millionaire who quickly becomes a friend. Jessica's arrival coincides with Mia's encounter with a demonic entity that follows her around as she explores the dark and desolate concrete wilderness of the city via train stations and abandoned junctions as a battle between good and evil takes to the streets and train stations of the city. Mia must find and interrogate the man who gave her the curse as she prepares to fight the creature with everything she has as she does battle for her very existence.
