With his waking life stalked by the disturbing scene, confusion quickly turns to obsession.

When he meets a perfect stranger who’s all too willing to help, the stage is set for his dice with death.

But then Birdy stumbles upon a shadowy London clinic that claims to be able to predict a person’s date of death, including her own. Secrets start to unravel, and as the line between truth and lies blurs, Birdy feels compelled to right some old wrongs.
