Do You Follow Your Passion Or Listen To Fear?

Newly back in Chicago and struggling to get on her feet after a bad break up, musician Haley meets Devon, a songwriter. She's not ready for a new love, but his offbeat good looks and kindness draw her in.

They fall for each other fast. Too fast. But Haley can't resist, and she's the happiest she's ever been. Then she moves in with Devon and violent dreams start to plague him.

The outside world is in turmoil, too. Someone—or something—stalks Chicago’s streets after dark.

A mysterious, and stunning, woman from Devon's past claims to have answers, but she suggests the impossible. Supernatural creatures that prey on humans simply don’t exist. Or do they?

If Haley stands by the man she loves, is she risking death—or worse?
