Once upon a time, Callie had a high-paying job in a glamorous city, where everyone knew her name. Her real name.

Now she's just another nobody living in the middle of nowhere, trying to stave off boredom.

Welcome to witness protection, Callie.

But one day, Callie falls in love with a most unusual musical instrument, and embarks upon an obsession that she hopes will chase away her guilt.

Every time she plays, she comes one step closer to forgiving herself—and one step closer to hell.

A tale of redemption lost.
