Lucius has run into some hideous adversaries in his past, but nothing has prepared him for what his enemies have set him up against now. Months have passed since Lucius has disappeared. To contribute to society, Josephine sublets a room in her house to a seemingly harmless individual. The man claims to have been through catastrophic woes in life and reaching out for help one last time. Unbeknownst to Josephine, she is pulled directly into the choking plan of Lucius's enemies as he is forced to watch while hidden from her. Behind closed doors, the new tenant—Drake—is not as he appears, and Lucius is forced to watch Josephine endure trials beyond his protection. Without permission to erase the competition trying to sleaze its way between Lucius and Josephine, Lucius finds that there are ways of balancing the scales while he remains completely camouflaged. However, with every hurdle that Lucius completes, there's a new and more challenging obstacle with each intervening. The more Lucius intervenes, the more he guarantees his appointment to come face-to-face with Drake where rules might be bent and laws might be broken.
