The arrival of someone from her past will force her to take part in a dangerous game of favours, debts and deceit. It will also lead to a reunion with Mascarell, a peculiar detective involved in a most strange assignment. In the meantime, a power struggle develops to pull the strings of Frankurt’s darker side that will end up splashing blood all over the place.
