As Sam navigates his cases in Bennet County, it becomes increasingly apparent that his clients - old and new - are surprisingly interconnected, especially when old clients rise from the dead.

While Sam's psychic abilities increase as he investigates the case and gets closer to Camille, he realizes that the enigmatic nun is not revealing the complete truth.

The relation by David of the childhood saga of he and his violent group of teenage friends proves cathartic.
