Paradise is not a destination but a state of mind. Something Sammy had come to appreciate over time. He knew he was second best. Second to a man who died and left a world of confusion behind but he didn’t care. He loved Melissa more than simple words and grand gestures could ever describe. In their small town he had found his paradise. A paradise that he had carefully crafted within his mind but that beautifully constructed dream would soon be shattered by a simple discovery and an ugly truth. The only path left to take will be the one leading into the shadows and away from the life Sammy had grown to love.

Who survives to tell the tale that monsters live and monsters fail?
