Can you trust your lover?

After an abusive childhood and soul-splitting heartbreak, Hollis hovers around her hometown, secretly killing the men who are unfortunate enough to fall for her charms, until her lonely friend, Josie, asks Hollis to move in with her. Hollis attempts to drop "Holli", the alter ego who dispatches her unsuspecting lovers, but she finds it difficult to function as a teacher when she sees the evidence of abuse on the people she values. In an effort to veer away from her murderous path, Hollis forms a relationship with the father of one of her students, Quillen, but he's running from a secret Hollis may not understand.

Hollis's sad and twisted past has never been unearthed, but will Quillen's influence cause her to dig up details that could risk her capture? When all Hollis's secrets threaten to come to the surface, will she continue to live under the guise she's created, or will Hollis's hobby be revealed?
