How many people in life are consumed by desire for things that don't belong to them, and end up paying a heavy price? Sadly, this is commonplace in society. Unrestrained desire often leads people to tread the line between good and evil.
A simple home invasion, an accidental brush with the supernatural, a telephone ringing like something out of a nightmare, and a pale-green dress embroidered with lotus flowers along its hem become entangled in two bloody cases.

The two victims of the crimes, once parallel lines in their lives, slowly find their paths crossing. Facts and truths, faintly glimpsed, emerge one by one.
