How do you draw any existing humanity from a murderer? What—if not a taste of their own medicine— could make a homicidal sociopath repent?
The final death in a family that had been dwindled down to two by the abuse of alcohol and lack of love has turned Beth into a young drifter. A guitar, a voice and the clothes on her back are all that accompany her on her aimless search for something better than thievery and vagrancy. This search leads her into a partnership with a homicidal sociopath.
Immortality has been the focus of Benji’s life since the ill-grieved death of his mother. Too many people have died as a statistic to shortly after become nameless and forgotten.

But then Beth disappears.
She tastes the physical karma of her actions while Benji reaps the emotional toll that comes with the disappearance and presumed death of a loved one.
