One year after the tragic accident that killed her husband Hank, Marielle is struggling to cope with her grief. Friends and family feel helpless as they watch the Marielle they know and love fade sway under a fog of drug and alcohol abuse.  While she doesn't  show it, Marielle feels the same - deep down, she's afraid that even she is incapable of stopping her downward spiral.

After a bad night out, Marielle hits a new low; stoned and drunk, she passes out on the side of a country road. Then, an unexpected stranger reaches out from the dark and helps her find her way home.

Nicolas has been haunting the earth for centuries. Once doomed to be executed as the son of an accused sorcerer in 15th century France, dubbed Le Fils du Diable, the Devil’s Child, Nicolas escaped death only to become ensnared in an even more horrible fate; one of eternal damnation. Marielle's world spins even more wildly out of control as she forges a dangerous and inexplicable bond with her new friend, soon discovering that Nicolas has not only strange powers but dark secrets that pose a threat not only to herself, but to everyone she loves.
