Then again, Lucy is harboring secrets of her own too. Then, the worst happens. Sarah's behavior takes a turn for the strange. She becomes angry...and hungry. Lucy soon comes to suspect that something is trying to possess her beloved sister. Or is it madness? As Sarah changes before her very eyes, Lucy must reckon with the dark, monstrous truth or risk losing her forever"--
