Continuing the story started with the Monsters of Amapa, Madeline Oughton agrees to join the same program in which Brian unwittingly became entangled, only to find that it is less an opportunity, than an unbearable obligation. Terence' program begins to be revealed as Madeline finds herself with one of his greatest assets, on the wrong side of the equation.
