At the center of her dissolving sanity is a sexy black-haired man named Keth. Torn over a promise he made to Jennifer's father, Keth desires nothing more than to kill Jennifer and be free.

They will answer each other's questions but the process leaves a trail of death and destruction when other forces intervene.
