Mooney and Hope have added to their family, a little Angel was left for them to raise, but with her pink eyes, she is perceived as a devil child and there are those who wish her ill and her family as well. The great fire that would destroy Detroit Hope and Mooney knew about, but they didn't know they would lose everything to an internal fire.
