A dumpster. A rooftop. A hidden closet. As the Strangleworm closes in on the people they love and they find allies becoming enemies, the trio make desperate moves to try and get ahead.

Kelly makes a promise. Nammi steels some nerves, and calms others. Rabbit makes a daring bid for control of their life.

Why have this power, but never use it? This could change everything.

It’s an ending, not a beginning.

Maybe it’s both.
