Over the course of this evening he comes to realise that the people with him were more involved in the night of her death than he ever suspected. as he finally uncovers the truth about the death of his childhood true love, John faces an agonised choice between ending his own pain for ever and taking a chance on a redemptive grace at the hands of his ancient enemy and a woman he cannot trust.
