Jackie believes someone from her past started this fatal scheme as she confronts these killers. Acting out of old instincts, she sets out a risky scheme to eliminate The Demons one by one before they can kill her.

However, Jackie finds as she probes that the biggest threat she encounters is not the killers, but her own demons. Her path becomes a search for atonement rather than only a survival struggle.
