A year after her death, his quiet existence is disrupted by the arrival of a sharp-tongued, arrogant high school girl who bears a striking and unsettling resemblance to someone from his past. Her unexpected presence signals that the story he thought had ended is only just beginning, pulling him back into a web of intrigue he never truly escaped.
