This story of friendship, mystery, and the supernatural explores the depths of curiosity and the dangers of obsession, culminating in a climax that threatens to change their lives forever.

Stranded at an event after being dumped by her abusive boyfriend of 7 months, 20 year old Serendipity Payne meets the sexy, charming and hopelessly intriguing Clinton Blake. Shortly after this encounter, Sera's life seemingly starts falling into place. But looks can be deceiving, because underneath her seemingly perfect life, Sera is filled with pain and sadness from her past traumas in life. Sera thinks she is just postponing having to deal with the pain and bitterness associated with events from her past, but little does she know that her grief is eating her from the inside out. Little does she know that what she is doing is not living at all, but rather re-enacting the most traumatic events from the past that she absolutely refuses to come to terms with. This book mostly tries to illustrate one of the most confusing psychological phenomenas to date; the "repetition compulsion." In 'repetition compulsion', a person repeats a traumatic event or its circumstances over and over again. This includes reenacting the event or putting oneself in situations where the event is likely to happen again. While no hard-and-fast answers exist, this book tries to offer explanations as to why "just leave" is not an option for some individuals exposed to unstable or traumatic relationships.

‘I paid a good deal of money for you. I hope your brother is doing better.’ I have no idea. The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow, and I am on my knees before you… ‘What do you want me to do?’ I ask in a trembling voice, touching the blindfold. My fingers are abruptly removed from my face, and a rough hand is stroking my cheek instead. I feel like a toy that has been praised for obedience. ‘Spend a few nights with me.’ ‘But...’ ‘Believe me, you will enjoy it.’ His hand touches my face again and then tears off the folds of my shirt. That’s it. The game has begun.
